Vasoactive hormones in endotoxin shock: A comparative study in cats and dogs

R C Hall, R L Hodge
PMCID: PMC1331723  PMID: 4324984

Abstract

1. Entamoeba coli endotoxin was administered intravenously to cats and dogs.

2. The changes in circulating levels of catecholamines and angiotensin following endotoxin were assayed by a continuous superfusion technique.

3. The response of the dog was characterized by an immediate sustained rise in angiotensin levels and a later variable rise in catecholamine levels.

4. The response of the cat was characterized by an early rise in catecholamine levels and a later rise in angiotensin levels.

5. It is concluded that this species difference may reflect the relative importance of renin-angiotensin and sympatho-adrenal systems of dogs and cats, respectively.
