Angiotensin II modulates catecholamine release into interstitial fluid of canine myocardium in vivo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that exogenous infusion of angiotensin II (ANG II) leads to the release of catecholamines [norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EPI)] into the cardiac interstitial fluid (ISF) space of dogs with adrenals intact (AI) (n = 7) and with adrenals clamped (AC) (n = 5). LV ISF samples were collected at 3-min intervals during administration of ANG II (100 microM ANG II at 1 ml/min for 10 min) to right atrial neurons via their local arterial blood supply and during electrical stimulation of the stellate ganglia of open-chest anesthetized dogs. In AI dogs, ANG II caused ISF NE to increase fivefold (P < 0.05) without a significant increase in coronary sinus (CS) NE. Electrical stimulation (5 ms, 4 Hz, 8-14 V, and 10 min) of the stellate ganglia caused a similar increase in ISF NE (P < 0.05), accompanied by a sevenfold increase in CS NE (P < 0.05). ISF EPI increased greater than sixfold during ANG II infusion (P < 0.05) and during stellate stimulation. However, during ANG II infusions, aorta plasma EPI levels increased fourfold in AI dogs, whereas in AC dogs, CS NE and EPI levels were unaffected during ANG II infusions. Nevertheless, baseline ISF NE and EPI did not differ and increased to a similar extent during ANG II infusions in AI versus AC dogs. Thus exogenously administered ANG II increases the amount of NE liberated into the ISF independent of the adrenal contribution, the amount matching that induced by electrical stimulation of all cardiac sympathetic efferent neurons. In contrast, NE spillover into the CS occurred only during electrical stimulation of stellate ganglia. NE release and uptake mechanisms within the myocardium are differently affected, depending on how the final common pathway of the sympathetic efferent nervous system is modified.

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.
