Renal denervation delays the development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats. The influence of bilateral surgical renal sympathectomy, verified by fluorescence microscopy, on blood pressure and plasma renin activity in SH and normotensive rats (170-180 g before the sympathectomy) was studied. Neither in SH nor in normotensive rats, did the preoperative systolic blood pressure in the renal-sympathectomized group differ from that in the sham-operated controls. After the sympathectomy, blood pressure in the SH rats increased in 4 weeks only insignificantly, from 160 +/- 3 to 172 +/- 6 mmHg, while that in the sham-operated SH rats rose from 163 +/- 5 to 191 +/- 5 mmHg. In normotensive rats, blood pressures in both the renal-sympathectomized and sham-operated groups remained at the pre-operative levels. Thirty days after the operations, plasma renin activity or plasma kininogen in the renal-sympathectomized group did not differ from that in the sham-operated one either in SH or in normotensive rats. The results suggest that the delay in hypertension development produced by renal sympathectomy in SH rats is not mediated by a reduction in renin secretion.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007704 Kininogens Endogenous peptides present in most body fluids. Certain enzymes convert them to active KININS which are involved in inflammation, blood clotting, complement reactions, etc. Kininogens belong to the cystatin superfamily. They are cysteine proteinase inhibitors. HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (HMWK); is split by plasma kallikrein to produce BRADYKININ. LOW-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT KININOGEN; (LMWK); is split by tissue kallikrein to produce KALLIDIN. Cystatins, Kininogen,Kininogen,Prekinins,Prokinins,T-Kininogen,Thiostatin,Kininogen Cystatins,T Kininogen

D008856 Microscopy, Fluorescence Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye.

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.
