Abstract
The interaction between homologous dogfish angiotensin II ([Asn(1), Pro(3), Ile(5)]-AngII) and catecholamines was examined using blood pressure bioassay. Both noradrenaline and [Asn(1), Pro(3), Ile(5)]-Ang II elicited a presser response. Pre-treatment with phentolamine (1 mg kg(-1)) completely abolished the noradrenaline presser response but did not alter the magnitude of the [Asn(1), Pro(3), Ile(5)]-Ang II presser response although there was an initial delay in the response to [Asn(1), Pro(3), Ile(5)]-Ang II. These results indicate that the Ang II-induced presser response is a direct Ang II-mediated vascular response in elasmobranchs.
