[The interaction of the renin-angiotensin and enkephalinergic systems of the brain and hypophysis in normal rats and in experimental pathology of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal complex]
Abstract
Administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril inhibited the activity of renin-angiotensin system (RAS), increased leukin-enkephalin level in the hypothalamus and adenohypophysis. The data obtained suggest that the enzyme is an important link in the mechanism of interaction between the renin-angiotensin and enkephalinergic systems in rats.
