The role of the renin-angiotensin system in the control of blood pressure and drinking in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla
The role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the control of blood pressure and drinking was investigated in fresh water (FW)- and seawater (SW)-adapted eels, Anguilla anguilla, by comparing the effects of pharmacological manipulation through the use of papaverine (stimulator) and captopril (inh...
