Abstract
The intravenous (IV) infusion of angiotensin II (AII) was administered to seven healthy male volunteers in a randomized placebo-controlled study. As expected, AII induced a significant increase in blood pressure and plasma aldosterone concentrations. AII caused a significant increase in corticotropin (ACTH) and growth hormone (GH) release, but had no effect on the release of thyrotropin (TSH) and prolactin (PRL). These findings suggest that peripherally circulating AII might influence ACTH and GH secretion in humansFile in questo prodotto:
