Abstract
1. The vascular response to Asn1-Val5 angiotensin II (A II) in aortic rings from Bufo arenarum toad was studied. 2. Tachyphylaxis in response to A II could be abolished after incubation with norepinephrine (NE). 3. Phentolamine treatment partially inhibited the pressor effects to A II. 4. Sar1-Ile8 A II and Sar1-Ala8 A II significantly attenuated the vascular effects of A II and did not affect the NE response. 5. We conclude that the pressor response to A II has a direct contractile effect and a catecholamine dependent component in aortic rings of Bufo arenarum toad.Entities:
