Interaction Information:
Comment | The effect of angiotensin (Ang)-1-7 on dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate release in the striatum of the rat was examined using in vivo microdialysis. Ang-(1-7) was administered locally in the striatum through the microdialysis probe. At a concentration of 100 microm, Ang-(1-7) caused a significant increase in extracellular dopamine and GABA but had no effect on glutamate release. EC33, an inhibitor of aminopeptidase A, had no effect on the Ang-(1-7)-induced GABA increase but the GABA release was blocked by the putative AT(1-7) receptor antagonist A779 (0.1 microm) and by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME (1 mm). These drugs could not block the effect of Ang-(1-7) on the striatal dopamine release suggesting that only the observed effects on GABA release are mediated by the AT(1-7) receptor and/or are associated with a release of nitric oxide. |
