angiotensin/hemorrhage

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are associated with deleterious hypotension during anesthesia and shock. Because the pharmacologic effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are partly mediated by increased bradykinin B2 receptor activation, this study aimed to determine the impact

OBJECTIVE Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) exert protective effects in patients with stroke but their effects remain unknown in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS We recruited consecutive patients with acute ICH and analysed pre-admission demographic variables and

The purpose of this study was to evaluate during hemorrhagic hypotension and shock the effect of angiotensin II on renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, and sodium and potassium excretions, and to determine its role in the development of irreversible hemorrhagic shock. Anesthetized dogs were

To determine if the subnormal blood pressure recovery after hemorrhage in Brattleboro rats is due to secondary abnormalities in the renin-angiotensin or sympathetic nervous systems, we measured the hemodynamic, catecholamine, and renin activity responses to moderate acute hemorrhage in anesthetized

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) especially from arteriovenous malformations (AVM) remains one of the devastating complications following continuous-flow left ventricular device (CF-LVAD) implantation. Blockade of angiotensin II pathway using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors

The present experiments were designed to further investigate the action of an angiotensin II antagonist on the hyperglycemic response to hemorrhage (1.2 ml/100 g b.wt./2 min). The animals were divided into 3 experimental groups; (1) sham-operated animals submitted to intravenous administration of

1. This study investigated the effects of blocking the AT1 angiotensin receptors with irbesartan, either peripherally or centrally, on systemic blood pressure, intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure following experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) in urethane-anaesthetized rats.

The effect of hypoxia and the renin-angiotensin system on metabolic coronary regulation in hemorrhagic shock was studied in 22 anesthetized open-chest dogs. Left circumflex coronary blood flow was measured with an electromagnetic flowmeter. Dogs were ventilated with room air (n = 8) or 100% oxygen

The effect of bilateral nephrectomy, and administration of an inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme, on the recovery of arterial blood pressure after hemorrhage (loss of 1% of b.wt), was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Neither manoeuver significantly affected the recovery of blood pressure

In the pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized rat, hemorrhage of blood equivalent to 1% body weight (18.4% blood volume) increases plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration and also markedly elevates jejunal ion and water absorption. Infusion of angiotensin II (AII) also stimulates

The effect of systemic or intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of the angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonist losartan on blood pressure during hypotensive haemorrhage was investigated in five conscious sheep. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured during haemorrhage (15 mL kg-1 body wt). Losartan

The aim of this experiment was to compare the role of renin-angiotensin and sympathetic nervous system in post-haemorrhagic mechanism of oxytocin release. Oxytocin content in venous dialysates was determined by radioimmunoassay. In control rats the release of oxytocin into dialysates did not change

Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a serious condition often accompanied by delayed cerebral ischaemia. Earlier reports have provided evidence suggesting a role for angiotensin II in the development of cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid bleeding. We sought to examine the influence of angiotensin II

During fetal life, the autonomic nervous system is not fully mature, and it is likely that hormonal mechanisms play an important role in controlling cardiovascular function. In chronically instrumented fetal sheep, hemorrhage increased plasma renin activity and plasma angiotensin concentration

Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a complex process that initiates a global stress response. However, the earliest signaling pathways responsible for initiating this response remain unidentified. We have investigated the involvement of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK 1/2; also known as
