Controlled Hemorrhage Sensitizes Angiotensin II-Elicited Hypertension through Activation of the Brain Renin-Angiotensin System Independently of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Figure 1

Hypertensive response (a, b) and heart rate (HR) changes (c, d) induced by angiotensin (Ang) II in sham hemorrhage (S-HEM), HEM, and HEM plus treatment with either captopril (Cap) or diminazene aceturate (DIZE) rats. The enhanced hypertensive response in HEM rats was attenuated by either Cap or DIZE treatment. Baseline recordings are denoted by C’s (-7/group; vs. baseline; # vs. S-HEM or HEM rats plus Cap or DIZE treatment).
