Activation of the renin-angiotensin system contributes to the peripheral vasoconstriction reflexly caused by stomach distension in anaesthetized pigs.

abstract：:This investigation was designed to determine the participation of the vagus nerve and muscarinic receptors in the remote ischaemic preconditioning (rIPC) mechanism. New Zealand rabbits were anaesthetized, and the femoral artery was dissected. After 30 min of monitoring, the hearts were isolated and subjected to 30 min...
