Inhibitory Action of Amine-Oxidase and Tyrosinase upon the Vasoconstrictor Effect of Hypertensin

Abstract

The vasoconstrictor substance (hypertensin, angiotonin) obtained by the interaction of renin and hypertensinogen and tested on the Loewen-Trendelenburg preparation is destroyed (ènzymatic destruction) in contact with amine-oxidase (extract of Sepia officinalis liver) or tyrosinase (extract of Psalliota campestris liver). © 1941, SAGE Publications.
