We have determined the distribution of angiotensin II receptor subtypes in rabbit brain using
in vitro autoradiography. AT1 receptors were found in very high concentrations in the
forebrain circumventricular organs—the subfornical organ, organum vasculosum of the
lamina terminalis, and the median eminence as observed in other mammals. However, there
was very little labeling in the area postrema. In the paraventricular nucleus, median preoptic
nucleus, supraoptic nucleus there were high levels of predominantly AT1 receptors. High …
