Pharmacological zero for electromagnetic renal blood flow measurement. 1985

G J Jonker, and D de Zeeuw, and R M Huisman, and G K van der Hem

Measurement of blood flow in chronically instrumented laboratory animals using electromagnetic flow probes depends on a reference "zero flow" value. The latter is usually obtained by mechanical vessel occlusion. We tested an alternative method: a bolus of angiotensin II was injected in the abdominal aorta resulting in an immediate decrease of renal blood flow. Diastolic blood flow at this stage appeared to be identical to the zero level obtained by mechanical occlusion. Thus, pharmacological interruption of renal blood flow may serve as a zero reference in the dog.

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.
