Abstrakt: The effects of the conversion enzyme on the hydroelectrolytic balance in adult rats, maintained in standard lab conditions have been followed. The administration protocol for the conversion inhibitor (captopril) produced a blocking of the transformation of angiotensin I in angiotensin II only at the level of the cerebral structures, during the whole period of the treatment (40 micrograms/kg x 3/24 hours). Following the intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of captopril, the fluid ingestion decreased diuresis and urinary elimination of Na+ and Ca++ increased. The results plead for the existence of a cerebral renin-angiotensin system, which intervenes in the control of the hydroelectrolyte metabolism.
