  • Title: Interaction between the renin-angiotensin and beta adrenergic nervous systems in drinking and pressor responses after renal artery constriction.

    Journal: J Pharmacol Exp Ther; 1982 May; 221(2):453-60. PubMed ID: 6281416.
    Abstract:
    Constriction of the remaining renal artery of a uninephrectomized rat produced an increase in plasma renin level, a decrease in renal cortex renin level, an increase in blood pressure and a drinking response. Simultaneous infusion with the angiotensin II antagonist, saralasin, potentiated the rise in plasma renin level and blocked the rise in blood pressure. Drinking was only partially attenuated. Pretreatment with l-propranolol had no effect on the changes in plasma or kidney renin levels, but the increase in blood pressure was potentiated and the drinking response was attenuated. It is concluded that the pressor and drinking responses to renal artery constriction are partially mediated by the beta adrenergic nervous system.
