title: Enhancing effects of angiotensin I on the vasopressin-stimulated water flow of toad bladder through increased cyclic AMP in mucosal cells.
abstract: The effects of angiotensins I and II on 10 mU/ml vasopressin-stimulated water flow across toad bladder were examined. Angiotensin I at concentrations of 10(-6) and 10(-7) M enhanced the water flow, but angiotensin II failed to do so at these concentrations. Angiotensin I had no effect on 5 mM cyclic AMP-stimulated water flow. After being preincubated for 30 min with angiotensin II, angiotensin I failed to have any stimulatory effect on vasopressin-stimulated water flow. At 10(-6) M angiotensin I significantly enhanced vasopressin-stimulated cyclic AMP content in bladder mucosal cells. These results indicate that angiotensin I enhances vasopressin-stimulated water flow by increasing cyclic AMP production in bladder cells and that angiotensin II may possibly interfere with angiotensin I in a competitive manner.
