โฆ Synopsis
By the use of compounds that directly depress vascular smooth muscle, block a-adrenergic receptors, or block 8-adrenergic receptors, it was shown that a triple mechanism is involved in the pressor action of angiotensin in isolated, perfused human placental blood vessels. Angiotensin directly stimulates vascular smooth muscle and a-adrenergic receptors while concomitantly stimulating p-adrenergic receptors, to offset the effect of the first two mechanisms. Thus, when the 8-receptors are blocked, the pressor response to angiotensin is augmented. Key phrases 0
