Plasma renin activity in acute renal failure induced by norepinephrine infusion in unilaterally nephrectomized dogs. 1978

Y Sasaki, and Y Michimata, and K Minai, and R Shioji, and T Furuyama, and K Yoshinaga

Plasma renin activity was determined by bioassay prior to, during and following a 2-hour infusion of norepinephrine into the renal artery in unilaterally nephrectomized dogs in order to examine the role of renin-angiotensin system in norepinephrine-induced ARF. ARF was induced in 5 of 8 dogs receiving 0.75 microgram/kg/min of norepinephrine, but not in the remaining 3 dogs and 2 dogs infused with 0.6 and 0.4 microgram/kg/min of norepinephrine. There proved no difference in plasma renin activity in renal venous blood between the dogs with and without ARF when followed up to 2 h after the discontinuation of the infusion. The same results were obtained when the plasma renin activity in the foreleg vein was followed at 24, 48 and 72 h after the infusion. The renin-angiotensin system does not seem to contribute to the reduction of renal function in norepinephrine-induced ARF in dogs.

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.
