Stimulation of the renin‐angiotensin system and drinking by papaverine in the seawater eel, Anguilla anguilla

The administration of papaverine (a hypotensive agent) caused an elevation in plasma angiotensin II concentration in the seawater eel, with a corresponding increase in drinking rate. Captopril completely abolished papaverine‐induced increase in drinking and reduced papaverine‐stimulated plasma angio...

Description
Summary:The administration of papaverine (a hypotensive agent) caused an elevation in plasma angiotensin II concentration in the seawater eel, with a corresponding increase in drinking rate. Captopril completely abolished papaverine‐induced increase in drinking and reduced papaverine‐stimulated plasma angiotensin II concentrations by over 80%.
