چکیده

1. Antibodies were raised in rabbits against pure rat angiotensinogen. The antisera obtained were highly specific for rat angiotensinogen and did not bind hog, dog, rabbit, monkey or human angiotensinogen. They did not cross-react with angiotensin I, angiotensin II or synthetic hog tetradecapeptide renin substrate. However, rat des-angiotensin I-angiotensinogen cross-reacted 100% with the angiotensinogen antibody. 2. A direct radioimmunoassay for rat angiotensinogen in plasma was developed and this enable 5 fmol of this protein to be detected. Comparison of the amounts of angiotensinogen determined by the indirect and direct assay systems indicated a 1:1.2 ratio for normal rats and rats in various endocrine states, except for adrenalectomized animals. In the latter, the angiotensinogen level measured by direct radio-immunoassay was four times that obtained by indirect assay. 3. The presence of a large amount of des-angiotensin I-angiotensinogen in adrenalectomized rat plasma is discussed.

Sexual dimorphism of urine angiotensinogen excretion in the rat.

To determine the source of angiotensinogen excreted in urine, urine angiotensinogen was measured in male and female rats during growth. Angiotensinogen in 24-hr urine, measured by direct radioimmunoassay with antibody against rat angiotensinogen, increased fourfold in males between the ages of 5 and 7 weeks, whereas no significant changes were observed in females or castrated males. Plasma leve...

Modulation of the intrahepatic renin-angiotensin system after stimulation of the gastric sodium monitor in the rat.

Changes in the rate of formation of angiotensin II (ANG II) participate in mediating the natriuresis that occurs in direct response to a gastric sodium stimulus (upper-gut sodium monitor). As this natriuresis is also dependent on intrahepatic events, we investigated whether changes in hepatic and plasma angiotensinogen levels and hepatic angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity might explai...

The feedback regulation of angiotensinogen production by components of the renin-angiotensin system.

The in vivo generation of angiotensin appears to be dependent on both plasma renin and angiotensinogen concentrations. Much less is known about the control of hepatic angiotensinogen synthesis and release, as compared to that of renin. In this study, we examined the feedback regulation of angiotensinogen synthesis and release by various components of the renin-angiotensin system, using an in vi...

Distribution of renin activity and angiotensinogen in rat brain. Effects of dietary sodium chloride intake on brain renin.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the biochemistry and the regulation of the brain renin-angiotensin system in the Sprague-Dawley rat. Renin activity and angiotensinogen concentrations (direct and indirect radioimmunoassays) were measured in several brain areas and in neuroendocrine glands. Regional renin activities were measured in separate groups of rats on high and low NaCl diets....

Induction of euthanasia using carbon dioxide in rat: an overview of the available practical guidelines

Background and aims: Euthanasia is used to define ending an animal's life in a way that results in rapid anesthesia and death without pain or distress. One of the most common methods of performing euthanasia in rats is the administration of carbon dioxide (CO2). The aim of this study was to review the available practical guidelines for inducing euthanasia in rats by administrating CO2. M...
