title: Biological activity of des-asp1-angiotensin II (angiotensin III) in man.
abstract: Effects of des-asp1-angiotensin II (angiotensin III) on blood pressure and aldosterone secretion were examined in man. Angiotensin III was equipotent with val5-angiotensin II amide in the stimulation of aldosterone production, but had only 20% of the pressor activity of the later. These results are consistent with those previously reported by other investigators in animals.
