PG - R259-64 AB - The effects of inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system on the decreased renal excretion of sodium and water resulting from behavioral stress (shock avoidance) were examined in conscious saline-infused (4-5 ml/min) dogs. During saline infusion alone in six dogs, avoidance decreased sodium excretion (64% from 329 mueq/min) and urine flow (63% from 1.9 ml/min). During converting enzyme inhibition with captopril in the same dogs, the decreases in sodium excretion (35% from 464 mueq/min) and urine flow (35% from 2.6 ml/min) during avoidance were attenuated. Similarly, in six other dogs, avoidance decreased sodium excretion (41% from 361 mueq/min) and urine flow (43% from 2.1 ml/min) with saline infusion alone. During angiotension II (ANG II) receptor antagonism with saralasin, decreases in sodium excretion (29% from 417 mueq/min) and urine flow (27% from 2.2 ml/min) were attenuated. These mean changes in excretion during inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system were significantly (P less than 0.05) less than during saline alone. Whereas decreases in fractional sodium and water excretion were attenuated by renin-angiotensin inhibition, decreases in glomerular filtration rate and effective renal blood flow and increases in mean arterial pressure were not affected. These results indicate that ANG II contributes to the renal excretory response to avoidance.
