The blunting of arterial pressure increases to a variety of pressor agents or the lowering of arterial pressure in some models of hypertension following intracerebroventricular administration of an angiotensin II (AII) antagonist, has been interpreted as prima facie evidence for the involvement of the central AII system in these situations. Central administration of vasopressin or carbachol (a cholinergic agonist) produces pressor effects which have been reported to be due to an increase in the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. We now report that central administration of AII antagonists [either (Sar-1, Ile-8) AII or (Sar-1, Ala-8) AII] in rats prevents the majority (> 70%) of the pressor effects of intraventricular vasopressin or carbachol. These results can be interpreted in two ways. The first is that all of these pressor agents use a central angiotensinergic mechanism (s) to increase sympathetic nervous system activity. An alternative hypothesis is that centrally administered AII antagonists non-specifically inhibit sympathetic nervous system function.
