Angiotensin II (AII) stimulated vasopressin (VP) release from the rat hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system (HNS) in organ culture in a concentration-dependent manner. Exposure to AII at 10(-8) M for 1 hr yielded a 1.8-fold increase in VP release over control release (P less than 0.01), while a 1-h exposure to 10(-5) M AII resulted in a 4-fold increment over control VP release by HNS explants maintained in organ culture for 3 days (P less than 0.01). Saralasin, an AII antagonist, blocked AII stimulation of VP release without significantly altering basal VP release by the HNS explants. Saralasin did not interfere with stimulation of VP release by acetylcholine or nicotine. Tetrodotoxin (10(-7) g/ml) also blocked AII stimulation of VP release. These findings suggest that action potentials are generated in response to AII stimulation of specific receptors in the HNS and are requisite for VP release in response to this stimulus.
