Cryoactivation fails to augment plasma renin activity in the cat. 1982

R Golin, and A Morganti, and I Busnardo, and L Turolo, and A Stella, and A Zanchetti

1. Active and cryoactivated renin (plasma renin) activity after incubation at -5 degrees C for 4 days, were measured in cat plasma sampled before and during the following procedures: suprarenal aortic stenosis, electrical stimulation of the pons and mild hypotensive haemorrhage. 2. Under all experimental conditions the values of plasma renin activity for both the activated and non-activated samples were similar. 3. The absence of a cryoactivatable aliquot of renin suggests that in cat plasma the inactive form of the enzyme either is actually absent or has a liability to the action of cold different than in other animal species.

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.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
