Abstract: Renin-angiotensin system research indicates that the physiological pathways of prostaglandin production and steroidogenesis in frog ovaries are independently controlled by hormones angiotensin I and angiotensin II. Experiments using the ovary tissue of water frog Rana esculenta in the presence of hormone 17beta-estradiol are described. The hydrolyzing activity of acetylcholine substrate FAPGG are assessed.
