Abstract
1 The actions of angiotensin II (AT II) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the vessels of the human isolated, perfused, cotyledon were examined in vitro. 2 The cotyledonary vessels were shown to respond to both AT II and 5-HT over the range 10−8 to 10−4M. 3 The preparation was found to be more responsive to AT II than 5-HT. 4 The findings confirm that the responsiveness of the cotyledonary vessels differs from the vessels of the umbilical cord, and that this behaviour does not depend upon the integrity of the endothelium associated with these vessels.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
