Angiotensin-(1–7) potentiates responses to bradykinin but does not change responses to angiotensin I
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), a bioactive peptide in the renin-angiotensin system, has counterregulatory actions to angiotensin II (Ang II). However, the mechanism by which Ang-(1-7) enhances vasodepressor responses to bradykinin (BK) is not well understood. In the present study, the effects of Ang-(1-7) on responses to BK, BK analogs, angiotensin I (Ang I), and Ang II were investigated in the anesthetized rat. The infusion of Ang-(1-7) (55 pmol/min i.v.) enhanced decreases in systemic arterial pressure in response to i.v. injections of BK and the BK analogs [Hyp3, Tyr(Me)8]-bradykinin (HT-BK) and [Phe8psi (CH2-NH) Arg9]-bradykinin (PA-BK) without altering pressor responses to Ang I or II, or depressor responses to acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor enalaprilat enhanced responses to BK and the BK analog HT-BK without altering responses to PA-BK and inhibited responses to Ang I. The potentiating effects of Ang-(1-7) and enalaprilat on responses to BK were not attenuated by the Ang-(1-7) receptor antagonist A-779. Ang-(1-7)- and ACE inhibitor-potentiated responses to BK were attenuated by the BK B2 receptor antagonist Hoe 140. The cyclooxygenase inhibitor sodium meclofenamate had no significant effect on responses to BK or Ang-(1-7)-potentiated BK responses. These results suggest that Ang-(1-7) potentiates responses to BK by a selective B2 receptor mechanism that is independent of an effect on Ang-(1-7) receptors, ACE, or cyclooxygenase product formation. These data suggest that ACE inhibitor-potentiated responses to BK are not mediated by an A-779-sensitive mechanism and are consistent with the hypothesis that enalaprilat-induced BK potentiation is due to decreased BK inactivation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
