The effect of medication on the aldosterone‐to‐renin ratio. A critical review of the literature

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2021
The aldosterone‐to‐renin ratio (ARR) is a common screening test for primary aldosteronism in hypertensives. However, patients often use medications that could confound the ARR and, thereby, reduce the interpretability of the test.

Predicted Release and Analysis of Novel ACE-I, Renin, and DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptides from Common Oat (Avena sativa) Protein Hydrolysates Using in Silico Analysis

Foods, 2017
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in regulating hypertension by controlling vasoconstriction and intravascular fluid volume. RAAS itself is largely regulated by the actions of renin (EC 3.4.23.15) and the angiotensin-

Higher plasma renin activity is associated with increased kidney damage risk in patients with hypertension and glucose metabolic disorders

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2022
The impact of renin on kidney remain unclear among hypertensives with glucose metabolic disorders (GMD). We aimed to evaluate the association between plasma renin activity (PRA) and kidney damage in hypertensive patients with GMD.

Combination Therapy Is Superior to Sequential Monotherapy for the Initial Treatment of Hypertension: A Double‐Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundGuidelines for hypertension vary in their preference for initial combination therapy or initial monotherapy, stratified by patient profile; therefore, we compared the efficacy and tolerability of these approaches.

The evolutionary development of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system and its importance for the survival of the human species

Arterial Hypertension, 2021
Kidneys produce a number of substances that affect intrarenal blood circulation; however, the key system that regulates blood flow in both general and local circulation (including the renal circulation) is the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS ...

Feeding pregnant ewes a high-salt diet or saltbush suppresses their offspring’s postnatal renin activity

Animal, 2009
If ewes consumed a high-salt diet or saltbush during the last 3 months of pregnancy and for 3 weeks after birth, we expected the renin activity of their lamb to be suppressed at birth and at 3 weeks of age.

Renin-Angiotensin System [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 1975
ALTHOUGH the names of Tigerstedt and Bergman1 are associated with the first description in 1898 of renin extracted from the kidney, it may come as a surprise that when Tigerstedt, who was the senior worker in the partnership and the Professor of Physiology in the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, died, there was no mention of renin in the various ...

Kinetics of the inhibition of renin and angiotensin I-converting enzyme by cod (Gadus morhua) protein hydrolysates and their antihypertensive effects in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Food & Nutrition Research, 2015
Background: Cod muscle has a balanced protein profile that contains potentially bioactive amino acid sequences. However, there is limited information on release of these peptides from the parent proteins and their ability to modulate mammalian blood ...

Influence of Polymorphism of Vitamin D Receptor (Fok I) on Hypertension [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2020
Evidence suggests that polymorphisms in the gene encoding a vitamin D receptor might affect blood pressure. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate the association between hypertension and vitamin D receptor (Fok I) gene polymorphism ...
