The Effect of Antihypertensive Medications on Testing for Primary Aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a potentially curable form of secondary hypertension caused by excessive renin-independent aldosterone secretion, leading to increased target organ damage and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]
It was the aim of the present study to get insight into some of the intracellular mechanisms by which the vasoconstrictor hormones angiotensin II (ANG II), arginine vasopressin (AVP), and norepinephrine (NE) inhibit renin release from renal ...

A Rare Cause of Chronic Hypokalemia with Metabolic Alkalosis: Case Report and Differential Diagnosis
Hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis can be present in different rare diseases, and the differential diagnosis of these forms is challenging. Apparent mineralcorticoid (AME) excess syndrome is one of these conditions.

Atrial natriuretic peptide inhibits renin release from juxtaglomerular cells by a cGMP-mediated process [PDF]
We have examined the effect of a synthetic analogue of human alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), APII, on renin release in cultured renal juxtaglomerular cells (JGA cells).

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and renin-aldosterone in volume regulation of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]
The role of the atrial natriuretic factor and of the main counteracting sodium-retaining principle, the renin-aldosterone system, in acute volume regulation of cirrhosis of the liver has been investigated.
