Effects of intraventricular angiotensin II on heat balance at various ambient temperatures in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angiotensin II (AII, 5 micrograms) injected into the cerebral ventricles produced hypothermia in conscious rats at ambient temperatures (Ta) of 18, 23, and 28 degrees C. At Ta of 18 and 23 degrees C, AII-induced hypothermia was attributed to both enhancement of heat loss and suppression of metabolic rate. At Ta of 28 degrees C, AII-induced hypothermia seemed to be mainly attributed to increased heat loss.

Introduction: Renin angiotensin system has an important role in blood pressure and renal functions. Active angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 converts angiotensin I into angiotensin-(1-7) which is a vasodilator hormone and interacts with nitric oxide changes as well as other angiotensin II receptors. In this study we evaluated the role of Mas receptor antagonist (A779) and renal perfusion press...
متن کاملAccelerated Heat Aging Study of Phenolic/Basalt Fiber Reinforced Composites
One of the greatest impediments to use polymer-matrix composites is their susceptibility to degradation when exposed to the elevated temperatures and the limited knowledge on the thermal and mechanical properties of these composites at such temperatures. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of accelerated heat aging on the tensile properties of the Woven Basalt/Phenolic (WBP) ...
متن کاملBlockade of Central Angiotensin II AT1 Receptor Protects the Brain from Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Normotensive Rats
Background: Stroke is the third leading cause of invalidism and death in industrialized countries. There are conflicting reports about the effects of Angiotensin II on ischemia-reperfusion brain injuries and most data have come from chronic hypertensive rats. In this study, hypotensive and non-hypotensive doses of candesartan were used to investigate the effects of angiotensin II AT1 receptor b...
متن کاملThe Effects of Angiotensin II and Captopril on Expression of Morphine Withdrawal Signs in Rat
The mechanisms of drug dependence and rewarding properties of opiates are not exactly known and several neurotransmitters seem to be involved. It is possible that the rennin-angiotensin system could interact with the opioid system, since it has been shown that angiotensin II(Ang) and ACE inhibitors have analgesic, anticonvulsant and antidepression effects and in some cases they could antagonize...
