Transient angiotensin effects on renal nerve activity unlikely to sustain hypertension in rabbits; leaves open translation to human sympathetic regulation.
Does intravenous angiotensin alter sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure compared to noradrenalin in rabbits?
Angiotensin induces a transient, centrally-mediated increase in sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure in rabbits, which is likely of minor importance for prolonged blood pressure responses.
Aars et al. (1968) studied this question.
