Abstract
The rabbit adrenal gland contains an enzyme which reacts with renin substrate to form a vasopressor polypeptide, probably angiotensin I. In view of the strong effects of angiotensin on secretion of aldosterone and catecholamine, this finding suggests that there may be an intra-adrenal mechanism for the control of adrenal secretions.Keywords
