Abstract

Results indicate that the endogenous renin-angiotensin system participates in the mechanism of the stress-induced high blood pressure in rats, and that the effect of Ang II is mediated mainly by stimulating hypothalamic AVP synthesis and release, which in turn result in an increase in blood pressure by acting on the central V_(1) receptors.
