Thirst in the rat after ligation of the inferior vena cava: role of angiotensin II. 1981

J F Mann, and A K Johnson, and W Rascher, and J Genest, and D Ganten

The role of angiotensin II in thirst states after ligation of the inferior vena cava above (CLA) or below (CLB) the origin of the renal veins as compared to sham operated controls was evaluated 24 hrs after ligation. Water intake was enhanced in CLB rats and even more so in CLA rats. Plasma angiotensin II and urea concentrations and serum osmolality were increased in CLA rats. Plasma sodium concentration and hematocrit were reduced in CLA rats, and hematocrit in CLB rats as well. Water intake in CLA rats was retarded by IV infusions of saralasin. Saralasin infusions in CLA rats resulted in a dramatic increase of plasma angiotensin II concentrations. Ligation of the inferior vena cava induces major changes in body fluid homeostasis, which are more pronounced in CLA than in CLB rats. The increase in water intake in CLA rats appears to be partly mediated by angiotensin II.

D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.

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.
