[The effect of captopril on the arterial pressure, structural resistance and vascular reactivity of the kidney in rats with nephrogenic hypertension].
The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibiting agent captopryl suppressed a moderate hypertension in rats with pyelonephritis and with ureteral obstruction, but not in rats with ureteral obstruction combined with the renal artery constriction. The suppression of the hypertension was accompanied by a reversion of structural alterations in the blood vessels.
