Water-salt balance, plasma renin activity and catecholamine excretion in renovascular hypertension in the rat. 1981

I J de la Riva, and S Morera, and M L Kurnjek, and N Basso, and M Domínguez Mon, and A C Taquini

Water-electrolyte balance, plasma renin activity and urinary catecholamine excretion were studied for a period of 10 weeks after clipping the renal artery in the rat. Two groups of rats were examined; in Group I, a silver clip was applied on the left renal artery leaving the contralateral kidney untouched; in Group II, both renal arteries were clipped. Neither water-salt retention nor the increase inthe activity of the renin-angiotensin system or in the neural tone seem to be essential in the development of high arterial pressure after renal ischemia. All these factors would seem to be secondary mechanisms the contribution of which would depend on the experimental model or the hypertensive period under consideration.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

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.
