The blood pressure and heart rate responses to microinjection of angiotensin II (ANG II) into the brain stem of urethan-anesthetized rats were studied. Microinjection of ANG II into the area postrema (AP) resulted in significant elevation of blood pressure and significant reduction of heart rate. Microinjection into the region of the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) yielded a significant dose-dependent elevation in blood pressure and consistent increases in heart rate. The response to microinjection of ANG II into the region of the NTS was not due to leakage into the peripheral circulation, since intravenous administration of the ANG II antagonist, saralasin, did not attenuate the response. In fact, the cardiovascular response was increased after peripheral ANG II blockade, and the heart rate, which was consistently but not significantly elevated by NTS injection alone, was significantly elevated after saralasin pretreatment. Thermal ablation of the AP did not change the heart rate or the pressor response to microinjection of ANG II into the region of the NTS, indicating that the response was not mediated through the AP.
