Central Pressor Effect of Angiotensin mediated by the Parasympathetic Nervous System

Nature volume 220, pages 1331–1332 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

ALTHOUGH there is good evidence that angiotensin exerts effects on the cardiovascular system which are mediated by the nervous system1–3 there are few data clarifying the site of action, the mechanism of the reponse or the efferent pathways. One of the difficulties limiting investigation has been the technical problem of isolating the circulation to the head, or of ensuring that angiotensin reaches the brain when infused into an extra-cranial artery4.
