Popis: SUMMARY 1. Intravenous administration to pithed Wistar rats of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril (0.1–1.0 mg/kg) lowered the diastolic blood pressure and reduced pressor responses occurring during electrical stimulation (1–30 Hz) of the spinal sympathetic outflow. 2. These doses of enalapril given intravenously also attenuated pressor responses to intravenous injection of the muscarinic ganglion stimulant McNeil-A-343 (50, 100, 150 μg/kg) and noradrenaline (0.1–5.0 μg/kg). Enalapril (1.0 mg/kg, i. v.) reduced pressor responses to the nicotinic ganglion stimulant 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium (300 μg/kg, i.v.). 3. These results confirmed that the actions of enalapril resemble those of captopril in the pithed rat, by causing reductions in both blood pressure and pressor responses to sympathetic stimuli.
