Brain Angiotensin II, through stimulation of brain AT1receptors, regulates pituitary hormones and autonomic activity. We have administered the insurmountable AT1antagonist Candesartan, s.c. via osmotic minipumps for 14 days, to determine whether peripheral chronic AT1blockade affects AT1receptor binding and mRNA in the brain. Peripherally administered Candesartan (0.1, 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg per day) inhibits AT1binding in adrenal gland zona glomerulosa and kidney glomeruli. In addition, Candesartan dose-dependently decreases AT1binding in brain areas outside (subfornical organ and area postrema) and inside (paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and nucleus of the solitary tract) the blood–brain barrier. Conversely, peripheral treatment with Candesartan does not affect AT1Areceptor mRNA, the predominant receptor subtype expressed in these areas, or Angiotensin II binding to AT2receptors in the locus coeruleus or inferior olive. Our results demonstrate that chronic peripheral treatment with selective, potent AT1antagonists not only inhibits peripheral but also brain AT1receptors. These central effects may play a role in the antihypertensive effects of the AT1antagonist Candesartan.
