Increases in arterial pressure and paraventricular nucleus vasopressin release in response to intracerebroventricular injections of angiotensin peptides are blunted in mRen2(27) renin transgenic [TG(+)] rats. Intraventricular injections of tachykinin peptides mimic several of the actions of angiotensin peptides, and angiotensin peptides evoke substance P release from hypothalamic brain slices. The present study assessed whether diminished substance P release occurs in response to angiotensin peptides in TG(+) rats. Systolic blood pressure at 8 to 12 weeks of age averaged 197 +/- 4 mm Hg (n = 20; P .05). Angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin II significantly increased substance P release from hypothalamus of TG(-) rats (82% and 70% above control: P < .05) but not TG(+) rats. These studies further support the hypothesis that the cardiovascular effects of angiotensin peptides are mediated in part by substance P and that this relationship is blunted in a hypertensive model that results from excess tissue production of angiotensins.
