... to 12‰ saltwater for 5 weeks to determine the effects of chronic exposure to saline environments. Following 5 weeks, plasma levels of hormones [e.g. progesterone, testosterone, estradiol, corticosterone, aldosterone (ALDO), angiotensin II (ANG II)] were quantified using liquid chromatography and tandem...

... ) and homologous angiotensin II ([Asn 1 , Val 5 ] Ang II;5×10 –7 mol kg –1 ) was markedly enhanced(107 and 97%, respectively) in desensitized preparations. However, the secretory response to the muscarinic receptor agonist methylcholine(1×10 –3 mol kg –1 ) was unchanged by desensitization. The results...

...Tomohiro Kozaka; Yasuaki Fujii; Masaaki Ando SUMMARY Intracranial injection of eel angiotensin II (eANG II,5×10 -13 -5×10 -8 mol), acetylcholine (ACh,5×10 -12 -5×10 -9 mol), substance P(5×10 -10 mol) and isoproterenol (a β-adrenoceptor agonist, 5×10 -11 -5×10 -9 mol) enhanced water intake...

... of the renin–angiotensin system, using lisinopril to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme, prevented the elevation of both angiotensin II and circulating catecholamine levels in acutely hypoxic fish experiencing nicotinic receptor desensitisation. In fish possessing functional nicotinic receptors, angiotensin...

...Nicholas J. Bernier; John E. McKendry; Steve F. Perry ABSTRACT The stimulatory effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) on catecholamine release and the contributions of the renin–angiotensin system, humoral catecholamines and adrenergic nerves to blood pressure regulation were investigated in rainbow...

...Nicholas J. Bernier; Steve F. Perry ABSTRACT To determine the contribution of plasma catecholamines to the cardiovascular effects of elevated levels of angiotensin II (Ang II) in trout, this study investigated (1) the stimulatory effects of [Asn 1 -Val 5 ]-Ang II on plasma catecholamine levels, (2...
