Leaves open clinical translation of ACE inhibitor effects; extends experimental evidence for angiotensin feedback on renin in rats.
Do exogenous angiotensins II and III prevent captopril-induced renin release in anaesthetized rats?
Captopril induces renin release by inhibiting angiotensin II feedback control of renin secretion, which can be reversed by exogenous angiotensin II or III.
Moldenhauer et al. (1988) studied this question.
