The central actions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in rats include inhibition of arginine vasopressin (AVP) release, and less consistently, ACTH suppression and hypotension. To explore any such inhibitory actions on basal and stimulated levels of AVP and ACTH, we have studied the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of ANP on the hemodynamic and hormonal response to acute hemorrhage in conscious sheep. Two groups of 5 sheep received rat ANP(101-126) by ICV infusion (0.5 microgram bolus followed by 0.5 microgram/h for 3 h, or 5 micrograms bolus followed by 5 micrograms/h for 3 h) as well as artificial cerebrospinal fluid control infusions in random order. One hour after the start of the ICV infusion, acute hemorrhage (15 ml/kg BW within 10 min) was performed. Basal levels before hemorrhage of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate and plasma hormones were unaltered by either dose of ICV ANP. After hemorrhage, the fall in MAP and rise in heart rate were similar in each group. However, compared to control infusions the response to hemorrhage of ACTH (433 +/- 147 to 2,175 +/- 588 vs. control 541 +/- 103 to 893 +/- 244 ng/l; p less than 0.016) and angiotensin II (AII) (18 +/- 3 to 94 +/- 23 vs. control 18 +/- 4 to 58 +/- 8 pmol/l; p less than 0.001) were significantly greater during high-dose ANP infusion. Although peak AVP levels more than doubled those observed on the control day, the increase did not reach statistical significance (p less than 0.1053). Plasma concentration of cortisol, aldosterone, epinephrine and norepinephrine were not significantly different in control and ANP-treated groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
