Comparable steroidogenic potency in dogs; hypothesis-generating for des-asp1-angiotensin II mediation and requires human validation.
Do angiotensin II and its heptapeptide fragment (des-asp1-angiotensin II) stimulate adrenal steroid secretion similarly in dexamethasone-treated dogs?
Des-asp1-angiotensin II demonstrates similar steroidogenic potency to angiotensin II, supporting its role as a mediator in the renin-angiotensin system.
Lohmeier et al. (1975) studied this question.
