Abstract
The role played by AT1 and AT2 receptors in the mediation of angiotensin-II (ANG-II) aldosterone secretagogue action has been investigated in vitro using different types of rat adrenal preparations. ANG-II enhanced aldosterone secretion of dispersed zona glomerulosa (ZG) cells in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50, 3 x 10(-10) M), and its effect was annulled by the AT1-receptor antagonist DuP753 and unaffected by the AT2-receptor antagonist PD123319. ANG-II was significantly more effective in stimulating aldosterone secretion when capsule-ZG and adrenal slices containing medullary chromaffin cells were used (EC50, 1 x 10(-11) M and 7 x 10(-12) M, respectively); moreover, both DuP753 and PD123319 caused partial reversals (intense and moderate, respectively) of the responses to ANG-II, and when added together annulled them. The beta-adrenoceptor antagonist l-alprenolol did not affect aldosterone response to ANG-II of dispersed ZG cells, but exerted a PD123319-like effect on the responses of capsule-ZG and adrenal slices. In light of these findings we conclude that, when the integrity of adrenal tissue is preserved, ANG-II stimulates aldosterone secretion by activating both AT1 and AT2 receptors, the major role being played by...Continue Reading
