Bidirectional connections between the subfornical organ and the hypothalamus are reviewed, and emphasis is placed on recent evidence for the presence of angiotensin II in some of these pathways. Additionally, evidence is presented suggesting that this peptide may serve as a neurotransmitter or neuroendocrine factor in the efferent projections of cell groups receiving neural inputs from the subfornical organ. It appears that angiotensin II may serve as one of the chemical messengers at each link in multi-synaptic pathways related to the subfornical organ.
本文综述了穹窿下器与下丘脑之间的双向连接，并着重介绍了最近在其中一些通路中存在血管紧张素II的证据。此外，有证据表明，在接受穹窿下器神经输入的细胞群的传出投射中，这种肽可能作为一种神经递质或神经内分泌因子。血管紧张素II似乎可能是与穹窿下器相关的多突触通路中每个环节的化学信使之一。
