Abstract
INVESTIGATORS in several laboratories have reported on the isolation of vasoactive lipids from renal medulla of several species1–7. Muirhead et al.1 have separated these lipids into two classes: the antihypertensive lipids which prevent canine renoprival hypertension2 and lower canine renal hypertension3; and the more acidic vasodepressor lipids which acutely lower the blood pressure of the anaesthetized, vagotomized dog or rat treated with pentolinium4.
