Abstract
⺠Tonin is able to generate the pressor octapeptide Ang II in the isolated rat heart. ⺠Tonin increased blood pressure and heart rate and decreased heart rate variability. ⺠Tonin induced increase in arterial coronary pressure and negative inotropic effects. ⺠The cardiovascular responses induced by tonin were completely blocked by candesartan.
