These animal findings should not change clinical practice; leaves open whether enhanced vascular ACE and ANG II sensitivity sustain human renovascular hypertension.
In a canine model of renovascular hypertension, chronic hypertension appears to be maintained by increased sensitivity of post-synaptic alpha 1-adrenoceptors, pre-synaptic ANG receptors, and increased vascular ACE activity.
Toda et al. (1985) studied this question.
