Comparative effects of angiotensin II on osmotic water permeability in the toad (Bufo arenarum). 1987

M O Soria, and D M Berman, and A Coviello

The possible relationship between the renin-angiotensin system and water balance in the toad Bufo arenarum has been indirectly explored. A positive correlation was found between the hydrosmotic response of ventral pelvic toad skin to angiotensin II (A II) and some age indicators (body weight, snout-urostyle length or head width). A different hydrosmotic response for oxytocin and isoproterenol (but not for A II) was found between four cutaneous regions of toad body. We conclude that A II may not be directly involved in the regulation of water balance mediated by water absorption across the skin of Bufo arenarum toads.

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.
