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-

Aldosterone-Mediated Sodium Retention Is Reflected by the Serum Sodium to Urinary Sodium to (Serum Potassium)² to Urinary Potassium (SUSPPUP) Index

Diagnostics, 2020
The serum sodium to urinary sodium ratio divided by the (serum potassium)2 to urinary potassium ratio (SUSPPUP formula) reflects aldosterone action.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
