Abstract
The effect of cadmium acetate (1 mg/kg i.p.) on the renin angiotensin system was examined in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Blood pressure, plasma renin activity (PRA) and serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels were determined in the rats. Cadmium acetate produced a hypertensive response which was not associated with elevated PRA. However, ACE levels in the serum were significantly decreased in the cadmium-treated group as compared with normal controls (P less than 0.01).Entities:
