Renin, Renin Inhibition and Antihypertensive Therapy
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1983 Research over the last 25 years established the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system's important role in electrolyte and blood pressure homeostasis as well as in the pathophysiology of hypertension for which renin suppressive drugs, angiotensin antagonists and converting enzyme inhibitors provided selective pharmacological tools.

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.

Within the Brain: The Renin Angiotensin System
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 For many years, modulators of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) have been trusted by clinicians for the control of essential hypertension. It was recently demonstrated that these modulators have other pleiotropic properties independent of their ...

Protein Kinase G Is Involved in Acute but Not in Long-Term Regulation of Renin Secretion
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Pharmacological inhibition of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) is, in combination with diuretics, the first-choice treatment for hypertension, although 10–20% of patients do not respond adequately.

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 ...
