Normal Men

1. When the angiotensin II-(4-8)-pentapeptide was infused intravenously at rates of 0.31-5.55 nmol min−1 kg−1 for 10–120 min into five normal men or two patients with Bartter's syndrome, no significant change was observed in blood pressure, plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone, and the lowest dose did not inhibit the captopril-induced increase in plasma renin activity in the normal men. 2. An intravenous infusion of the pentapeptide at 9–0 nmol min−1 kg−1 for 15 min significantly raised blood pressure in the five normal men but not in patients with Bartter's syndrome. Blood pressure returned to the pre-treatment level 60 min after the cessation of the infusion in the normal men. 3. At the same dose level none of the seven subjects examined showed any significant change in plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone. 4. Angiotensin II-(5-8)-tetrapeptide was infused intravenously into one of the normal men at a rate of 41.5 nmol min−1 kg−1 for 15 min, but it caused no significant change in blood pressure, plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone. 5. These results suggest that the pentapeptide and probably the tetrapeptide do not possess renin-suppressing and steroidogenic actions in man but that the former peptide does elicit a modest pressor action with a prolonged duration.

Pre Treatment

ABSTRACT To evaluate the role of angiotensin III in the control of blood pressure, plasma aldosterone and plasma renin activity (PRA), the pressor, steroidogenic and PRA-suppressing effect of angiotensin III was studied in rabbits with or without simultaneous constant infusion of Ile7-angiotensin III, an analogue of angiotensin III, or Sar1Ala8-angiotensin II, an analogue of angiotensin II, and compared with the effect of angiotensin II. Infusion of 30 ng/kg/min of angiotensin III or angiotensin II produced a twofold increase in plasma aldosterone. Pressor response to angiotensin III was approximately one tenth of that of angiotensin II. Infusion of angiotensin II suppressed the PRA significantly, while infusion of angiotensin III did not suppress it. Angiotensin II or angiotensin III induced-increase in plasma aldosterone was attenuated by the pretreatment with either Ile7-angiotensin III or Sar1Ala8-angiotensin II. Pressor or PRA-suppressing action of angiotensin II was unaffected by the pre-treatment with Ile7-angiotensin III, while it was significantly inhibited by pre-treatment with Sar1Ala8-angiotensin II. This study indicates that angiotensin III or angiotensin III analogues affect the adrenal glands selectively and suggests that there are differences between the receptor sites for angiotensins in vascular smooth muscle, kidney and those in the adrenal cortex.

Moderate Effect

1. The effects of infusions of equimolar doses of angiotensin II (AII) and of Des1-angiotensin II (heptapeptide) on plasma renin activity, blood pressure and plasma aldosterone were compared in normal anaesthetized dexamethasone-suppressed dogs. 2. Plasma renin activity was equally suppressed by both compounds. The increase in blood pressure induced by the heptapeptide averaged 43–62% of the increase during AII infusions. No significant differences in aldosterone increase were observed between AII and the heptapeptide. Plasma aldosterone, however, dropped significantly faster in heptapeptide-treated dogs after the end of the infusions. 3. Sar1-Ala8-angiotensin II (saralasin, 400 pmol min—1 kg—1) suppressed plasma aldosterone that was stimulated by heptapeptide (20 pmol min—1 kg—1) completely. The same angiotensin antagonist had only a moderate effect on plasma aldosterone stimulated by AII. After stopping the antagonist infusion, plasma aldosterone rose significantly higher in dogs infused with AII than in those receiving the heptapeptide. 4. The results demonstrate differences between the effects of AII and the heptapeptide both on blood pressure and on plasma aldosterone. They do not support the hypothesis that the heptapeptide may be the main mediator of aldosterone secretion.

1. The effect of infusions of equimolar doses of angiotensin II (AII) and of the angiotensin analogue Sar1-Ile8-angiotensin II on arterial blood pressure, plasma aldosterone and plasma renin activity were compared in normal anaesthetized dexamethasone suppressed dogs. 2. Angiotensin II induced a significant increase of blood pressure and of plasma aldosterone whereas plasma renin activity decreased. The blood pressure was only slightly affected by large doses of the analogue. Plasma aldosterone, however, increased and plasma renin activity decreased. These changes were significant but less pronounced than after the infusions of angiotensin II. Plasma aldosterone remained high and renin activity low for 40 min after the infusions of the analogue. 3. The results suggest a strong agonistic potency of Sar1-Ile8-angiotensin II at the adrenal and renal angiotensin receptors, and that it is almost ineffective at the vascular receptors. The inhibition of renin secretion by angiotensin seems not to be related to its vasoconstrictive activity.
