Abstract Variations in arterial pressure and food and water consumption were studied in rats during and after their prolonged continuous exposure to angiotensin II using osmotic minipumps. Subcutaneously administered angiotensin-II (300 μg over 7 days) induced long-lasting hypertension followed by hypotension. Angiotensin-II administered into a lateral cerebral ventricle (3 μg over the same period) led to a significant fall in arterial pressure. The peripheral and intracerebral angiotensin-II administrations were both accompanied by increased water consumption.
