During angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced elevation of arterial pressure, there is an attenuation
of the baroreflex control of heart rate (HR), but the site of this action of Ang II on the …

Arterial blood pressure, heart rate and the response of these hemodynamic parameters to
exogenous norepinephrine were investigated in healthy volunteers (daily sodium intake of …

Baroreflex control of heart rate in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) is defective, largely
because of a poor vagal contribution to the reflex. We have demonstrated previously that …

Microinjection of angiotensin II (ANG II) into the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) has been
shown to produce a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure and heart rate. We have …

The renin-angiotensin system plays an important role in the regulation of arterial blood
pressure and in the development of some forms of clinical and experimental hypertension. It …

The effects of lifetime oral captopril treatment on baroreflex control of heart rate and lumbar
sympathetic nerve activity were measured in 19-21-week-old spontaneously hypertensive …

Background Angiotensin II is known to facilitate the release of catecholamines from
peripheral sympathetic neurons by stimulating presynaptically located receptors. Although …

Objective: To determine whether the reduced baroreceptor-heart rate reflex sensitivity in
genetically hypertensive rats is related to the level of cardiac or vascular hypertrophy …

We examined the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) and Ang-(1-7) on the release of [3H]
norepinephrine elicited by nerve stimulation (2 Hz, 0.5 millisecond, for 2 minutes) in rat atria …

Blockade of angiotensin II (Ang II) function during 8 days of oral therapy with lisinopril (20
mg/kg) and losartan (10 mg/kg) normalized the arterial pressure (112±3/70±3 mm Hg) and …
