The circulatory responses to progressively increasing doses of angiotensin II were studied in the same group of chronically instrumented unanesthetized pregnant sheep during three consecutive periods: a) normotensive with intact kidneys; b) normotensive with unilateral nephrectomy; and c) one-kidney hypertension. The results show that 1) the pressor response to a given dose of angiotensin was significantly greater in the normotensive than in the hypertensive condition; 2) uterine blood flow decreased markedly with the development of hypertension; 3) uterine circulatory response to angiotensin depended on the dosage; the response was less the the hypertensive than in the normotensive condition; 4) renal blood flow decreased and renal vascular resistance increased during angiotensin infusion, but the response was less in the hypertensive than in the normotensive condition; the response of the renal circulation decreased with increasing doses of angiotensin. These observations suggest a generalized vascular refractoriness to exogenous angiotensin II in the pregnant ewe with experimental renal hypertension. |
