Calcitonin gene-related peptide is a stimulator of renin secretion [PDF]

, 1988
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was found to stimulate renin secretion in vivo in normal human volunteers. Moreover, CGRP stimulated the release of renin in vitro from isolated rat renal juxtaglomerular cells (half-maximal effective concentration [

Disparate effects of calcium channel blockers on pressure dependence of renin secretion and flow in the isolated perfused rat kidney [PDF]

, 1992
Using the model of isolated perfused rat kidneys this study was performed to investigate whether or not voltage-operated calcium channels are essentially involved in the pressure control of renin secretion from the kidneys. At a perfusion pressure of 100

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.

Involvement of endothelium-derived relaxing factor in the pressure control of renin secretion from isolated perfused kidney [PDF]

, 1993
Using isolated rat kidneys perfused at controlled pressure, we examined a potential role of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in the pressure control of renin secretion.

Role of cGMP as second messenger of adenosine in the inhibition of renin release [PDF]

, 1988
Adenosine is known to be a potent inhibitor of renin release from the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate the transmembrane signalling avenue that the second messenger of adenosine causes inhibition of renal renin release.

Renin and Renin Inhibition in Anephric Man

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1993
Renin activity appears to be present in low concentrations in the plasma of anephric humans but could be artifactual secondary to inadvertent activation of prorenin during specimen collection and handling or from a renin-like enzyme. We studied the effects of specimen collection, storage, different assay conditions, trypsin activation, and the renin ...

Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and renin-aldosterone in volume regulation of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]

, 1989
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.

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.

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 ...
