In order to elucidate the mechanism of the antihypertensive action of dried bonito (katsuobushi), we compared the effects of dried bonito extracts with those of captopril, an angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, on aorta preparations isolated from rats. Dried bonito extracts (3 x 10(-4) to 3 x 10(-3) g/ml) more potently relaxed contractions induced by norepinephrine (10(-7) M) than contractions induced by KCl (55.9 mM). Dried bonito extracts (3 x 10(-3)g/ml) slightly inhibited 10(-7) m angiotensin I-induced contractions. In contrast, captopril (10(-8) to 10(-7) m) did not affect 10(-7) M norepinephrine- or 55.0 mM KCl-induced contractions, but a higher concentration of captopril (10(-6) M) very slightly relaxed it. Captopril (10(-8) to 10(-6) M) markedly inhibited 10(-7) m angiotensin I-induced contractions in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that antihypertensive mechanism of action induced by dried bonito involves direct action on vascular smooth muscle in addition to ACE-inhibitory activity.
