.... The cardiovascular responses to morphine were not altered by pretreatment with a vasopressin V 1 -receptor antagonist. 3. After bilateral adrenalectomy morphine caused a similar rise in noradrenaline but no increase in adrenaline. The rise in blood pressure was attenuated and the hyperglycaemia was abolished. 4...

...L. F. O. Obika; M. Marin-Grez 1. The effect of repeated intravenous injections of frusemide (0.17 mg/kg) on the urinary kallikrein excretion of normal, adrenalectomized and deoxycorticosterone acetate (D0CA)-treated adrenalectomized rats was studied. 2. Adrenalectomy decreased baseline urinary...

... 1α (6-oxo-PGF 1α ) was measured by radioimmunoassay of the supernatant fluid from rings of aorta incubated in vitro. 2. Up to 32 days after adrenalectomy, neither adrenalectomy nor dexamethasone (2 μg/day and 20 μg/day) influenced aortic 6-oxo-PGF 1α production. 3. High doses of dexamethasone (60 μg...

...K. Kurokawa; E. Aznar; C. Descoeudres; Anicia Zulueta; S. G. Massry 1. The effects of adrenalectomy on the adenylate cyclase—adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) system of rat renal medulla were examined to evaluate the mechanism of the impaired water diuresis in glucocorticoid...

The natriuresis was unrelated to changes in glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, renal arterial pressure, plasma protein...

... is attenuated by adrenalectomy and low sodium diet; it is enhanced by corticosterone. High sodium diet or administration of deoxycorticosterone did not alter the dose—response curve significantly. 3. The increased sensitivity of vascular smooth muscle after corticosterone treatment is not related to changes...

...M. C. Gregory; D. Duval; P. Meyer 1. The total number of specific dexamethasone-binding sites in rat heart and liver cytosol was measured at intervals after adrenalectomy. 2. Between 12 and 48 h after adrenalectomy there was a significant increase in the number of binding sites in both heart...

Since it is known that plasma angiotensinogen concentration decreases after adrenalectomy and is increased by the administration of corticosteroids (Reid et al...
