Popis: The aims of the present study were to examine the appropriateness of the rat as a model for human pregnancy in distribution of body fluid volumes and pressor response to vasoconstrictor substances. Body fluid volumes and the pressor response to angiotensin II (AII) and norepinephrine (NE) were determined in unanesthetized nonpregnant and pregnant rats, at 6-10 days gestation (early gestation) and 16-20 days gestation (late gestation). The distribution of body fluid volumes was measured by an isotope dilution method; plasma volume (PV), extracellular fluid volume (ECFV), and total body water (TBW) by 131I-radio-iodinated serum albumin, 35S-sodium sulfate, and tritiated water respectively. Late gestation rats had signficantly (p
