Abstract

Authors' synopsis: In rabbits, injection of angiotensin II into the lateral cerebral ventricle caused a rise of blood pressure, bradycardia, and tachypnoea. Vertebral artery infusions of angiotensin caused tachycardia and a larger increase in blood pressure than the same dose infused intravenously. Angiotensin produces cardiovascular effects by activation of the central nervous system and one site of action is within the area of distribution of the vertebral artery.
