title: Effect of vasoactive agents on prostanoid synthesis in isolated rat glomeruli.
abstract: We studied the influence of vasoactive substances (angiotensin II, epinephrine, norepinephrine and acetylcholine) on the synthesis of prostanoids in isolated rat glomeruli. A significant increase of prostaglandin E2, and of thromboxane B2, but not of prostaglandin F2 alpha synthesis was observed after the administration of angiotensin II at physiological doses. Neither catecholamines nor acetylcholine influenced prostaglandin synthesis. The stimulation of vasoactive prostaglandins by angiotensin II, may modify the hemodynamic status of the glomerulus.
