Effect of Angiotensin 11 on Blood Glucose Level in the Dog. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Angiotensin 11 given by intravenous infusion in a moderately large dose does not elevate either venous or arterial blood glucose levels within one hour in the conscious dog, nor does it produce glycosuria. This suggests that secondary release of catecholamines does not play a significant role in the physiological responses to angiotensin 11. The absence of glycosuria indicates that the renal tubular reabsorption of glucose was not affected by angiotensin 11 at this level of filtered load of glucose.
