The possible relationship between the renin-angiotensin system and water balance in the toad Bufo arenarum has been indirectly explored. A positive correlation was found between the hydrosmotic response of ventral pelvic toad skin to angiotensin II (A II) and some age indicators (body weight, snout-urostyle length or head width). A different hydrosmotic response for oxytocin and isoproterenol (but not for A II) was found between four cutaneous regions of toad body. We conclude that A II may not be directly involved in the regulation of water balance mediated by water absorption across the skin of Bufo arenarum toads.
已经间接探究了蟾蜍（Bufo arenarum）中肾素-血管紧张素系统与水平衡之间的可能关系。发现蟾蜍腹侧骨盆皮肤对血管紧张素II（A II）的水渗透反应与一些年龄指标（体重、吻-尾长或头宽）之间存在正相关。在蟾蜍身体的四个皮肤区域之间发现了催产素和异丙肾上腺素（但不是A II）的不同水渗透反应。我们得出结论，A II可能不直接参与由Bufo arenarum蟾蜍皮肤吸水介导的水平衡调节。
