| Abstract | The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of chronic angiotensin II (ANG II) infusions on ANG II content and angiotensinogen expression in the mouse kidney and the role of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) in mediating these changes. C57BL/6J male mice were subjected to ANG II infusions at doses of 400 or 1,000 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) either alone or with an AT(1)R blocker (olmesartan; 3 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) for 12 days. Systolic and mean arterial pressures were determined by tail-cuff plethysmography and radiotelemetry. On day 13, blood and kidneys were collected for ANG II determinations by radioimmunoanalysis and intrarenal angiotensinogen expression studies by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. ANG II infusions at the low dose elicited progressive increases in systolic blood pressure (135 +/- 2.5 mmHg). In contrast, the high dose induced a rapid increase (152 +/- 2.5, P < 0.05 vs. controls, 109 +/- 2.8). Renal ANG II content was increased by ANG II infusions at the low dose (1,203 +/- 253 fmol/g) and the high dose (1,258 +/- 173) vs. controls (499 +/- 40, P < 0.05). Kidney angiotensinogen mRNA and protein were increased only by the low dose to 1.13 +/- 0.02 and 1.26 +/- 0.10, respectively, over controls (1.00, P < 0.05). These effects were not observed in mice infused at the high dose and those receiving olmesartan. The results indicate that chronic ANG II infusions augment mouse intrarenal ANG II content with AT(1)R-dependent uptake occurring at both doses, but only the low dose of infusion, which elicited a slow progressive response, causes an AT(1)R-dependent increase in intrarenal angiotensinogen expression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
