Suppressing kidney angiotensinogen in blood pressure regulation
The classical renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is activated by renin that is secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent arteriole, which cleaves angiotensinogen (Agt), synthesized and released by the liver. This leads to the generation of a potent biologically active peptide, angiotensin II (AngII), which contributes to blood pressure regulation and sodium homeostasis. Recent studies...
متن کاملAngiotensinogen concentrations and renin clearance : implications for blood pressure regulation.
Renin (REN) requires seconds to convert angiotensinogen (AGT) to angiotensin I. We tested the hypothesis that this long catalytic cycle might indicate an influence of AGT concentrations on REN clearance. We studied 2 transgenic rat (TGR) strains for human (h) AGT; one strain has hAGT values approximately 7-fold higher than the other (68+/-18 versus 10+/-4 microg angiotensin I/mL). hREN (30 000 ...
متن کاملThe Kidney in Blood Pressure Regulation
Despite extensive animal and clinical experimentation, the mechanisms responsible for the normal regulation of arterial pressure and development of essential or primary hypertension remain unclear. One basic concept was championed by Guyton and other authors [1–4]: the long-term regulation of arterial pressure is intimately linked to the ability of the kidneys to excrete sufficient sodium chlor...
متن کاملRole of angiotensinogen in blood pressure homeostasis.
The role of angiotensinogen in blood pressure control was assessed in normotensive rats by observing the changes resulting from inhibition by specific rat angiotensinogen antiserum. The antiserum decreased blood pressure in rats on normal sodium as well as sodium-free diets (respectively delta BP = -30 +/- 6 mm Hg and -42 +/- 8 mm Hg). In binephrectomized sodium-replete rats, administration of ...
متن کاملKidney Relationship Between Urinary Angiotensinogen and Salt Sensitivity of Blood Pressure in Patients With IgA Nephropathy
We demonstrated previously that the blood pressure of patients with IgA nephropathy becomes salt sensitive as renal damage progresses. We also showed that increased urinary angiotensinogen levels in such patients closely correlate with augmented renal tissue angiotensinogen gene expression and angiotensin II levels. Here, we investigated the relationship between urinary angiotensinogen and salt...
