    Notes: Summary In unanaesthetized rabbits, diazoxide was injected i.v. in doses of 6.25, 12.5, and 25.0 mg/kg. A dose-dependent fall in blood pressure occurred, while heart rate rose to nearly maximum levels already with the lowest dose. After the medium and the high dose, blood glucose concentration increased continuously within the observation period of 2 h, and plasma concentration of angiotensin II was about 10-fold normal after the same time. Propranolol in doses of 0.67, 2.0, and 6.0 mg/kg, given i.v. 15 min before diazoxide (12.5 mg/kg), had no effect on the hypotensive action of the latter, but inhibited the increase both in heart rate and in blood pressure. The initial rise in heart rate was partly inhibited by 2 mg/kg propranolol, but no further inhibition was obtained by the dose of 6 mg/kg. Blood glucose increase was abolished by 2 mg/kg and markedly suppressed by 6 mg/kg propranolol. Beta-adrenoceptor blockade also reduced the elevated plasma concentration of angiotensin II. It is concluded that the rise in heart rate induced by diazoxide is caused not only by sympathetic stimulation, but also by a direct action on the heart. Similarly, the increase in plasma angiotensin II concentration is in part induced by beta-adrenoceptor stimulation and in addition by a direct renal mechanism. On the other hand, the hyperglycaemic effect seems to depend predominantly upon the stimulation of beta-adrenoceptors.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The blood pressure responses following infusions of angiotensin II (ANG II) into the brain ventricles (i.v.t.) have been tested in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats and in normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WK) rats. The mean arterial blood pressure increases were significantly higher in SH rats than in WK rats. Propranolol treatment reduced blood pressure increases to i.v.t. ANG II in WK, but not in SH rats. The higher sensitivity to i.v.t. ANG II in SH rats supports a role of central ANG II in the maintenance of high blood pressure in SH rats.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Angiotensin II (ANG II) wurde spontan hypertensiven (SH) Ratten und normotensiven Wistar Kyoto (WK) Ratten in den lateralen Hirnventrikel (i.v.t.) infundiert. Der mittlere arterielle Blutdruck stieg bei den SH Ratten signifikant höher an als bei den normotensiven WK Ratten. Propranolol-Vorbehandlung reduzierte die Blutdruckanstiege nach i.v.t. ANG II Infusionen bei WK Ratten, nicht aber bei SH Ratten. Die höhere ANG II Empfindlichkeit der SH Raten bestätigt frühere Ergebnisse, die darauf hinweisen, daß zentrales ANG III an der Aufrechterhaltung des hohen Blutdruckes von SH Ratten beteiligt sein kann.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die intrarenale Verteilung von Renin, Converting enzyme (CE) und Angiotensin II (ANG II) wurde mit immunzytochemischen Methoden an Ratten und Mäusen untersucht. Die hier aufgezeigten spezifischen Verteilungsmuster dieser Komponenten des Renin-Angiotensin-Systems (RAS) legen die Annahme nahe, daß es neben den bekannten systemischen, durch ANG II vermittelten Effekten des RAS auch lokale Interaktionen von RAS-Bestandteilen innerhalb der Niere gibt. — Eine erste Folge dieser Interaktionen dürfte die intrarenale Generation einer zusätzlichen Portion von ANG II im Nierenblutstrom sein, deren Zielgebiet durch die spezifische Lokalisation von CE in bestimmten Endothelbereichen der Nierenstrombahn bestimmt wird. Solche intrarenal-intravasalen Reaktionen können für sich wirksam werden, aber auch den Effekt von „systemisch“, d.h. prärenal generiertem ANG II verstärken. — Unsere Ergebnisse sprechen weiter dafür, daß es neben diesen intrarenal-intravasalen auch echte intrarenal-interstitielle Interaktionen der RAS-Komponenten gibt, deren Wirkung sich über das im Interstitium der Nierenrinde generierte ANG II allein auf die Niere beschränkt. Für das Vorhandensein eines solchen lokal-intrarenalen RAS spricht vor allem der Nachweis von ANG II in den epitheloiden Zellen des JGA und die Dissoziation des systemischen — an der Plasmakonzentration abzulesenden — Renin und ANG II von deren lokal-intrarenalen Konzentrationen bei renal hypertensiven Ratten.
    Notes: Summary The localization of renin, converting enzyme (CE) and angiotensin II (ANG II) in the kidneys of rats and mice was investigated with immunocytochemical methods. According to the presence and specific intrarenal localization of these components of the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) our results suggest that in addition to the well known systemic effects of the RAS, there are interactions of its components inside the kidney. These interactions may lead to the generation of an extra portion of ANG II in the renal blood stream with its target cells determined by the localization of CE at the luminal side of well defined endothelial areas. These intrarenal-intravasal reactions may or may not reinforce the action of “systemic” ANG II, generated prerenally. In addition, the existence of true intrarenal-interstitial interactions, with the different components and actions of this intrarenal RAS restricted entirely to the kidney is suggested by our results, particularly the demonstration of ANG II within epitheloid cells and the dissociation of systemic renin and ANG II from their local concentrations in renal hypertensive rats.

    Notes: Summary It has previously been reported that the primitive primate Tupaia belangeri develops a renal failure when exposed to psychosocial stress. In order to learn if this high susceptibility to stress of the Tupaia kidney can be correlated with morphological and functional parameters of the Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) and the renin-angiotensin system, comparative experiments were performed on Tupaia and rat. Our results reveal an outstandingly high potency of the JGA and the renin-angiotensin system in Tupaia as evident from the following findings: The Tupaia JGA contains a great number of epithelioid cells abounding in renin granules (electron microscopy). The renin content of the Tupaia kidney is considerably higher than in the rat (radio-immunoassay). The sympathetic innervation of the kidney and especially of the JGA is abundant in Tupaia (fluorescence and electron microscopy). Catecholamine contents of the kidney and other organs are significantly higher in Tupaia than in rats (spectrophotofluorometry). Our results support the previously developed concept of a potent intrarenal neuroendocrine interaction at the JGA level favouring, under certain conditions of social stress, the development of acute renal failure in Tupaia belangeri.
