Abstract
Dehydration (10.3 +/- 2.2%, N = 7) caused a significant increase in pe lvic patch wafer uptake (J(v)) from 875 +/- 86 (N = 21) to 2130 +/- 15 0 (N = 21) cm(3) . cm(-2). 10(-7), while the pectoral J(v) increased f rom 258 +/- 31 (N = 21) to 545 +/- 75 (N = 21 cm(3) . cm(-2). 10(-7). Captopril inhibited the pelvic patch J(v) in empty bladder toads decre asing the J(v) from 978 +/- 45 (N = 27) to 607 +/- 38 (N = 27) cm(3) . cm(-2). 10(-7). In dehydrated toads (15 +/- 2%, N = 14), captopril re duced the pelvic patch J(v) from 1807 +/- 213 (N = 21) to 957 +/- 91 ( N = 21) cm(3) . cm(-2). 10(-7). Captopril injection decreased the bloo d pressure in dehydrated toads from 25.6 +/- 1.9 (N = 21) to 16.9 +/- 1.5 (N = 21) mmHg with no change in heart rate.
