The Effect of Bradykinin and Angiotensin on Ganglionic Transmission

  • Conference paper
Hypotensive Peptides

Abstract

It has been shown recently that bradykinin (Lecomte et al., 1961; Feldberg and Lewis, 1964) and angiotensin (Feldberg and Lewis, 1964) release catecholamines from the adrenal medulla. The mode of action, however, is not yet clear. It seems to be different from that of the classic ganglionic stimulants and of indirectly acting sympathomimetic amines.
