Indomethacin attenuates captopril hypotension in this rat model; leaves open prostaglandin mediation of ACE inhibitors in clinical hypertension.
Does indomethacin attenuate the hypotensive effect of captopril in DOCA/salt hypertensive rats?
The hypotensive effect of captopril in DOCA/salt hypertensive rats is attenuated by indomethacin, suggesting the blood pressure lowering effect may be partially mediated by prostaglandins.
Miyamori et al. (1980) studied this question.
