The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in hydromineral and neuroendocrine balance. Although previous studies showed that exogenous angiotensin (Ang) II increased dipsogenic and vasopressin responses in near-term fetuses, little is known about the functional development of fetal endogenous brain RAS in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis. To determine the functional development of the central angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in utero, we investigated the electrocortical (ECoG) activity, swallowing activity, oxytocin (OT) release, and c-fos expression in response to intracerebroventricular Ang I administration in the near-term fetal lamb. Ang I did not change fetal low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) ECoG temporal distributions, but increased fetal swallowing activity during LV ECoG (1.0 ± 0.1 to 3.5 ± 0.4 swallows/min). Additionally, Ang I evoked an increase in c-fos-immunoreactivity in putative dipsogenic centers, including the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, accompanied by an increase in fetal plasma OT levels. The expression of c-fos was demonstrated in OT neurons in the hypothalamus. The Ang I-mediated increase in fetal swallowing and plasma OT was inhibited by captopril. These results demonstrate the functional development of the fetal brain ACE system in the last trimester of gestation, which plays an important role in the RAS-mediated dipsogenic response and OT release in the regulation of body fluid homeostasis.
