Effect of angiotensin II on artificial lipid membranes.
(5-Isoleucine)-angiotensin II applied to black lipid membranes produced current fluctuations varying between deltaG=5-10(-11) omega-1 and 3.5-10(-10) omega(-1). These fluctuations depend on the voltage and the hydrostatic pressure. The membrane resistance is lowered by deltaR=6.1-10(7) omega-cm2. With (5-isoleucine, 8-leucine)-angiotensin II the jumps are of a single amplitude (deltaG=2-10(-10) omega(-1)). In both cases water and ions are transported across the membrane.
