Contrasting central-peripheral AngII responses in sheep extend preclinical models; leaves open human translation and should not change practice.
Does intracerebroventricular angiotensin II cause different regional haemodynamic effects compared to intravenous angiotensin II in conscious sheep?
Central and peripheral administration of angiotensin II produce contrasting regional haemodynamic responses in conscious sheep, with central administration causing prolonged pressor effects mainly via mesenteric vasoconstriction.
