The presence and distribution of renin-like activity in hypophysis, pineal gland and some neural tissues were studies in both normal and salt-loaded rats. The Boucher micromethod was used to detect enzymatic activity. In normal rats both the pituitary and pineal glands contained significantly higher values of renin-like activity than did the other tissues examined. In salt-loaded animals there was a significant decrease of the renin-like activity of the glandular tissue while in the other brain areas the activity increased. The results are discussed in terms of the possible physiological role of the central renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
