The physiology of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) secretion was studied in normotensive subjects and hypertensive patients both young and old. Basal plasma ANP concentration was least in young normotensives, intermediate in old normotensives and young hypertensives, and highest in old hypertensives. Nifedipine, a known stimulator of ANP secretion, acutely increased plasma ANP in young and old normotensive subjects but not in young hypertensive patients and half of the old hypertensive patients. Increase in serum ANP level in response to nifedipine did not augment its hypotensive effect. However, the increase of aldosterone in response to nifedipine-induced rise in plasma renin activity (PRA) seemed to be suppressed by elevated ANP.

D012084 Renin-Angiotensin System A BLOOD PRESSURE regulating system of interacting components that include RENIN; ANGIOTENSINOGEN; ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME; ANGIOTENSIN I; ANGIOTENSIN II; and angiotensinase. Renin, an enzyme produced in the kidney, acts on angiotensinogen, an alpha-2 globulin produced by the liver, forming ANGIOTENSIN I. Angiotensin-converting enzyme, contained in the lung, acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to ANGIOTENSIN II, an extremely powerful vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes contraction of the arteriolar and renal VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE, leading to retention of salt and water in the KIDNEY and increased arterial blood pressure. In addition, angiotensin II stimulates the release of ALDOSTERONE from the ADRENAL CORTEX, which in turn also increases salt and water retention in the kidney. Angiotensin-converting enzyme also breaks down BRADYKININ, a powerful vasodilator and component of the KALLIKREIN-KININ SYSTEM.
