Variations in Arterial Blood Pressure after Kidney Transplantation [PDF]

, 1973
The course of hypertension within the first 2 months after kidney transplantation was correlated with renal function, plasma renin activity (PRA), and the daily maintenance dose of prednisone in 18 homograft recipients.

Role of protein kinase C in inhibition of renin release caused by vasoconstrictors [PDF]

, 1986
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 ...

Plasma Angiotensin II Is Increased in Critical Coronavirus Disease 2019

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) employs angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as its receptor for cell entrance, and studies have suggested that upon viral binding, ACE2 catalytic activity could be inhibited; therefore ...

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.

Immunohistochemical expression of intrarenal renin angiotensin system components in response to tempol in rats fed a high salt diet [PDF]

, 2017
AIM:To determine the effect of tempol in normal rats fed high salt on arterial pressure and the balance between antagonist components of the renal renin-angiotensin system.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with 8% NaCl high-salt (HS) or 0.4% NaCl ...

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.
