Pre- and Postsynaptic Features of the Central Angiotensin Systems. Indications for A Role of Angiotensin Peptides in Volume Transmission and for Interactions with Central Monoamine Neurons

Abstract
The transmitter receptor matches and mismatches in the angiotensin (ANG) immunoreactive (IR) neuronal systems of the rat CNS have been characterized in various regions by means of ANG II immunocyto-chemistry and 125I-angiotensin II receptor autoradiography. By means of in situ hybridization the distribution of angiotensinogen mRNA has been mapped out and related to the distribution of ANG IR.
