To elucidate the modulatory role of the brain renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of the secretion of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) from the heart, the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of angiotensin II on the plasma ANF level were examined in conscious unrestrained rats. Administration of angiotensin II in doses of 100 ng and 1 microgram significantly enhanced ANF secretion induced by volume loading with infusion of 3 ml of saline (peak values of the plasma ANF level: control, 220 +/- 57 pg/ml; angiotensin II 100 ng, 1110 +/- 320 pg/ml, p less than 0.01; angiotensin II 1 microgram, 1055 +/- 60 pg/ml, p less than 0.01). Injection of angiotensin II alone had no significant effect on the basal plasma ANF level. Central angiotensin II-induced ANF secretion was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with intravenous administration of the V1-receptor antagonist of vasopressin or intracerebroventricular administration of phentolamine. These results indicate that the brain renin-angiotensin system modulates ANF secretion in response to volume loading through the stimulation of vasopressin secretion or the activation of the central alpha-adrenergic neural pathway.

D012084 Renin-Angiotensin System A BLOOD PRESSURE regulating system of interacting components that include RENIN; ANGIOTENSINOGEN; ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME; ANGIOTENSIN I; ANGIOTENSIN II; and angiotensinase. Renin, an enzyme produced in the kidney, acts on angiotensinogen, an alpha-2 globulin produced by the liver, forming ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, contained in the lung, acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to ANGIOTENSIN II, an extremely powerful vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes contraction of the arteriolar and renal VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE, leading to retention of salt and water in the KIDNEY and increased arterial blood pressure. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates the release of ALDOSTERONE from the ADRENAL CORTEX, which in turn also increases salt and water retention in the kidney. Angiotensin-converting enzyme also breaks down BRADYKININ, a powerful vasodilator and component of the KALLIKREIN-KININ SYSTEM.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.
