Abstract:
The inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme captopril does not change the tone of the brain vessels but decreases the blood pressure and the tone of peripheral vessels, increases the oxygen and glucose demand in the brain in intact cats. In animals with brain ischemia, captopril decreased the tone of the brain vessels and promoted normalising of metabolic and transcapillary exchange in the brain.
