title: [Arachidonic acid activation of the rat cardiovascular system].
abstract: The hypotensive activity of arachidonic acid is more important by intraaortic than by intravenous injection, in the rat. The evisceration of the animal abolishes this difference and reduces the activity of arachidonic acid. This action is not accompanied by thrombopenia and is only observed with high doses of arachidonic acid in this species. The hypotensive activity is inhibited by indomethacin but not by tranylcypromine.
