Disparate effects of calcium channel blockers on pressure dependence of renin secretion and flow in the isolated perfused rat kidney [PDF]
Using the model of isolated perfused rat kidneys this study was performed to investigate whether or not voltage-operated calcium channels are essentially involved in the pressure control of renin secretion from the kidneys. At a perfusion pressure of 100

The renin-angiotensin system and fibrinolysis [PDF]
In addition to causing vasoconstriction and the retention of salt and water, angiotensin inhibits fibrinolysis, thereby promoting clot formation and protecting against hemorrhage. Activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) can disturb the balance of the fibrinolytic system by stimulating excess production of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1

Introduction: The hereditability of insulin resistance has been demonstrated in both familial and twin studies. The effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system gene polymorphisms on insulin resistance remain inconclusive.

Regulation of plasma aldosterone during hemodialysis [PDF]
In order to clarify the influence of serum potassium, serum sodium and plasma angiotensin II concentrations on aldosterone release during hemodialysis (HD), six chronic hemodialysis patients were studied during HD with varying dialysate sodium ...

THE INFLUENCE OF TISSUE ANGIOTENSINS ON ELEMENTS OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM (LECTURE)
Relevance. The renin-angiotensin system is today one of the oldest and most studied peptide cascades. Understanding the operation of this system is an urgent task for study in medical higher education institutions.

Renin-Angiotensin System Expression in the K562 Human Erythroleukaemic Cell Line
Local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may affect leukaemic cell production within the bone marrow microenvironment. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), renin, and angiotensin could influence leukaemogenesis.
