True versus immunoreactive angiotensin II in human plasma.
To measure specifically angiotensin-(1-8)octapeptide, peptides were extracted from 2 ml of plasma by reversible adsorption to bonded-phase silica. The angiotensin-(1-8)octapeptide was then isolated by isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and quantified by radioimmunoassay. The extraction recovery of 125I-angiotensin II added to 2 ml of plasma was 99 +/- 2% (mean +/- S...
متن کاملMeasurement of fibrinopeptide A in human blood.
Since thrombin cleaves fibrinopeptides A (FPA) and B from the NH(2)-terminal end of the fibrinogen molecule, measurement of fibrinopeptide levels in plasma may provide a direct index of thrombin action. Recently a radioimmunoassay for FPA has been developed, and in the present paper, we describe the application of this assay to the measurement of FPA levels in clinical blood samples. Since fibr...
متن کاملCharacterization of immunoreactive angiotensin in canine cerebrospinal fluid as Des-Asp1-angiotensin II.
1. Immunoreactive angiotensin II was measured in cerebrospinal fluid of four normal dogs. 2. The migration of this immunoreactive angiotensin II on polyacrylamide-slab gel electrophoresis was identical with the migration of the heptapeptide, Des-Asp1-angiotensin II, in each case. 3. The biological activity of the material from canine cerebrospinal fluid in a pressor bioassay was similar to that...
متن کاملProteolytic Processing of Angiotensin-I in Human Blood Plasma
In mammalian species, except humans, N-terminal processing of the precursor peptide angiotensin I (ANG-1-10) into ANG-2-10 or ANG-3-10 was reported. Here we hypothesize that aminopeptidase-generated angiotensins bearing the same C-terminus as ANG-1-10 are also present in humans. We demonstrate the time dependent generation of ANG-2-10, ANG-3-10, ANG-4-10, ANG-5-10 and ANG-6-10 from the precurso...
متن کاملBiological activity of angiotensin-(1-7) heptapeptide in the hamster heart.
Angiotensin II has been reported to have both a positive inotropic effect and a coronary constrictor action in the hamster heart. To study the contribution to these responses of phenylalanine in position 8, we assessed the direct cardiac effects of angiotensin-(1-7), which lacks phenylalanine in position 8. Syrian hamsters were used to determine the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) on cardiac perfo...
