Discussion

Implication

Does not support changes in clinical practice; leaves open functional roles of gonadal angiotensin II receptors in humans.

Structured PICO

Population

Rat and primate (rhesus monkey) gonads (testes and ovaries)

Intervention

Infusion of angiotensin II (25 ng/min) or captopril (1.4 micrograms/min) during PMSG/hCG induction period

Outcome

Characterization, distribution, and binding affinity of angiotensin II receptors in gonadal tissuessurrogate

This preclinical study characterizes the presence, distribution, and high-affinity binding of angiotensin II receptors in rat and primate gonads, suggesting a role for the renin-angiotensin system in gonadal function.
