Key result
Angiotensin II infusions fail to stimulate vasopressin secretion in normal subjects or hemodialysis patients.
Why the study?
Does Angiotensin II infusion stimulate vasopressin secretion in normal subjects and haemodialysis patients?
Does Angiotensin II infusion stimulate vasopressin secretion in normal subjects and haemodialysis patients?
Physiological doses of Angiotensin II do not stimulate vasopressin secretion in normal subjects or haemodialysis patients, challenging previous claims.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Physiological angiotensin II does not stimulate vasopressin; challenges prior claims yet leaves the question open for confirmation.
Hammer et al. (1980) studied Haemodialysis (n=17). Angiotensin II infusions was evaluated on Plasma vasopressin (AVP) level. Angiotensin II infusions (up to 12 ng/kg/min) did not stimulate vasopressin secretion in normal subjects or haemodialysis patients, instead causing a minor decrease in the dialysis groups.
