Effect of propranolol on blood pressure and plasma renin concentration in renovascular hypertensive rats. 1977

C H Pak, and M Matsunaga, and J Yamamoto, and J Kira, and K Ogino

The effect of chronic oral administration of propranolol (39--80 mg/Kg/day, for 21--27 days) on blood pressure, plasma renin concentration, and heart rate were studied in 2 types of renovascular hypertensive rats; one-kidney type with normal plasma renin and two-kidney type with high plasma renin. No significant change was observed in the blood pressure of either model during the administration of propranolol in spite of a significant reduction of heart rate. Plasma renin concentration showed a trend of suppression in two-kidney type rats, but this change was not significant. There was no suppression in one-kidney type rats. These results suggest that the beta-adrenergic system may not play a major role either in regulating plasma renin level or in maintaining the blood pressure in renovascular hypertensive rats.

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.
