Key result
Low doses of Angiotensin II significantly increased plasma ANF levels independently of changes in atrial pressures or systemic hemodynamics in volume-replete dogs.
Why the study?
Does low-dose Angiotensin II induce atrial natriuretic factor release independently of hemodynamic responses in dogs?
Does low-dose Angiotensin II induce atrial natriuretic factor release independently of hemodynamic responses in dogs?
Angiotensin II can promote atrial natriuretic factor release independently of changes in atrial pressures or systemic hemodynamics, suggesting a direct modulatory effect.

Hypothesis-generating for direct Ang II-ANF modulation in dogs; human studies needed before clinical relevance.
Volpe et al. (1990) studied Volume-replete state. Angiotensin II vs. Vehicle was evaluated on Plasma ANF levels. Low doses of Angiotensin II significantly increased plasma ANF levels independently of changes in atrial pressures or systemic hemodynamics in volume-replete dogs.
