Renal blood flow (RBF) was measured with a noncannulating electromagnetic flow transducer in anesthetized rats which had been maintained for 3-5 wk on low, normal, or high salt plus deoxycorticosterone diets. After base-line observations, one of two dissimilar inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin sys...
