Inhibiting effect of (sarcosine-1-isoleucine-8)-angiotensin II in anesthesized rats

Abstract
The peptidic sequence (Sarcosine-1-Isoleucine-8)-Angiotensin II has been demonstrated to be an in vitro specific and competitive antagonist of the Angiotensin II action.The present results show it to be a competitive antagonist also in vivo since pA2 values are similar, always reaches a 100% response on increasing the Angiotensin II dose, and when relating log (DR-1) and log dose of agonist, the slope is very near to one (0.925).
