Abstract
The effect of bilateral nephrectomy, and administration of an inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme, on the recovery of arterial blood pressure after hemorrhage (loss of 1% of b.wt), was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Neither manoeuver significantly affected the recovery of blood pressure within the first 10 min after hemorrhage. Thereafter, the recovery of the blood pressure was markedly suppressed. The study suggests that the initial recovery of blood pressure is unrelated to the kidneys, but the later one requires their presence and depends on the activity of the renin-angiotensin system.
