Abstract
Intravenous infusion of various doses of AngⅡ caused significant increses of the salt intake in S-D rats as a result of natriuretic action of the drug. The phenomenon could be abolished by administration of aldosterone but unaffected by drenalectomy. Captopril could suppress the AngⅡ effect. Discrepancies with a previous work on the interpretation of the action mode of AngⅡ were discussed.
