Angiotensin II in the hippocampus. A histochemical and electrophysiological study. 1980

H L Haas, and D Felix, and M R Celio, and T Inagami

The presence of the renin angiotensin system in the hippocampus is shown by immunohistochemistry. Intra- and extra-cellular recordings revealed that angiotensin II and III excite CA 1 pyramidal cells by disinhibition. The effect is antagonized by [Sar1, Thr8]-A II.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009433	Neural Inhibition	The function of opposing or restraining the excitation of neurons or their target excitable cells.	Inhibition, Neural
D006624	Hippocampus	A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

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.

D000805	Angiotensin III	A heptapeptide formed from ANGIOTENSIN II after the removal of an amino acid at the N-terminal by AMINOPEPTIDASE A. Angiotensin III has the same efficacy as ANGIOTENSIN II in promoting ALDOSTERONE secretion and modifying renal blood flow, but less vasopressor activity (about 40%).

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.

D012504	Saralasin	An octapeptide analog of angiotensin II (bovine) with amino acids 1 and 8 replaced with sarcosine and alanine, respectively. It is a highly specific competitive inhibitor of angiotensin II that is used in the diagnosis of HYPERTENSION.	1-Sar-8-Ala Angiotensin II,1-Sarcosine-8-Alanine Angiotensin II,(Sar(1),Ala(8))ANGII,(Sar1,Val5,Ala8)Angiotensin II,Angiotensin II, Sar(1)-Ala(8)-,Angiotensin II, Sarcosyl(1)-Alanine(8)-,Sar-Arg-Val-Tyr-Val-His-Pro-Ala,Saralasin Acetate,Saralasin Acetate, Anhydrous,Saralasin Acetate, Hydrated,1 Sar 8 Ala Angiotensin II,1 Sarcosine 8 Alanine Angiotensin II,Angiotensin II, 1-Sar-8-Ala,Angiotensin II, 1-Sarcosine-8-Alanine,Anhydrous Saralasin Acetate,Hydrated Saralasin Acetate
