title: Effects of the nonapeptide SQ 20.881 on the blood pressure of conscious normotensive and chronic hypertensive mice.
abstract: Prevention of conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by means of a converting enzyme inhibitor, the nonapeptide SQ 20.881, in chronic hypertensive mice was followed by a drop in blood pressure in all mice independent of the ethiology of hypertension; in conscious normotensive mice was observed a significant decrease in blood pressure, which, however, was less than that observed in the hypertensive mice.
