The infusion of certain amino acids, such as serine, alanine, and proline (SAP), has been shown to increase the glomerular filtration rate, whereas branched chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine, and valine fail to modify the glomerular filtration rate. It has been suggested that this effect of amino acids on the glomerular filtration rate is mediated by the action of the hormone glomerulopressin. The purpose of this work was to study the action of SAP and BCAA on glomerulopressin production. Livers isolated from rats were perfused with (i) Krebs-Ringer-Bicarbonate, (ii) SAP, or (iii) BCAA. Results indicate that glomerulopressin production is stimulated by SAP, but inhibited by BCAA.

D009129 Muscle Tonus The state of activity or tension of a muscle beyond that related to its physical properties, that is, its active resistance to stretch. In skeletal muscle, tonus is dependent upon efferent innervation. (Stedman, 25th ed) Muscle Tension,Muscle Tightness,Muscular Tension,Tension, Muscle,Tension, Muscular,Tightness, Muscle,Tonus, Muscle
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.
