A new common functional coding variant at the DDC gene change renal enzyme activity and modify renal dopamine function. [PDF]

, 2019
The intra-renal dopamine (DA) system is highly expressed in the proximal tubule and contributes to Na+ and blood pressure homeostasis, as well as to the development of nephropathy.

Plasma Renin Activity in Pheochromocytoma

Japanese Circulation Journal, 1968
Plasma renin activity was measured in seven patients with pheochromocytoma. Increased plasma renin activity was consistently observed in five cases, in whom urinary excretion of noradrenaline was higher than that of adrenaline. In one patient, there occurred a progressive rise in plasma renin activity with a proportionate increase in urinary excretion ...

The Effect of High Dose Total Body Irradiation on ACTH, Corticosterone, and Catecholamines in the Rat [PDF]

, 2011
Total body irradiation (TBI) or partial body irradiation is a distinct risk of accidental, wartime, or terrorist events. Total body irradiation is also used as conditioning therapy before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Performance of renin assays in selecting fludrocortisone dose in children with adrenal disorders

Endocrine Connections
Children with salt-wasting adrenal insufficiency are managed with glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid replacement. Measurement of renin activity or concentration alongside blood electrolyte levels is used to monitor the adequacy of mineralocorticoid ...

Differential renal effects of candesartan at high-and ultra-high doses in diabetic mice: potential role of  ACE2/AT2R/Mas [PDF]

, 2016
High doses of Ang II receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) are renoprotective in diabetes. Underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether high/ultra-high doses of candesartan (ARB) up-regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II type 2 ...

Secondary Hypertension due to a Renin-secreting Juxtaglomerular Cell Tumor

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2010
A juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JCT) is a rare, renin-secreting tumor of the kidney and can cause hypertension. JCT is pathologically benign, and resection of the tumor is curative for hypertension.

Different behaviour of the N-terminal and C-terminal fragment of proatrial natriuretic factor in plasma of healthy subjects as well as of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1990
N-terminal (atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 1-98) and C-terminal (ANF 99-126) fragments of proatrial natriuretic factor (NTA and CTA, respectively) were determined in plasma of healthy subjects adopting different postures and in patients with cirrhosis ...

Regulation of Renin Release via Cyclic ADP-Ribose-Mediated Signaling: Evidence from Mice Lacking CD38 Gene

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background/Aims: Despite extensive studies, the intracellular regulatory mechanism of renin production and release is still poorly understood. The present study was designed to test whether CD38-ADP-ribosylcyclase signaling pathway contributes to the ...

Lack of direct evidence for a functional role of voltage-operated calcium channels in juxtaglomerular cells [PDF]

, 1990
In this study we have examined the role of voltage-gated calcium channels in the regulation of calcium in juxtaglomerular cells. Using a combination of patch-clamp and single-cell calcium measurement we obtained evidence neither for voltage-operated ...
