Increased renin concentration in plasma and amniotic fluid during storage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Renin concentration was determined in plasma and amniotic fluid samples immediately after collection, after storage at -18 degrees C for up to 48 h, and after storage at 5 degrees C for as long as 48 h. Renin concentration increased, both in plasma (p less than 0.05) and amniotic fluid (P less than 0.02), after the storage at 5 degrees C, but no significant alteration occurred on storage at -18 degrees C. Partial activation of inactive renin could explain the observed increase in renin concentration at 5 degrees C.

Direct radioimmunoassay of human renin: comparison with renin activity in plasma and amniotic fluid.
Human plasma and amniotic liquid were activated by dialysis at pH 3.3. Then, renin before and after acidification was determined by two methods: enzymatic activity measurement, and direct radioimmunoassay. The identity between nonactivated and activated renin in plasma and amniotic fluid on the one hand, and pure renin on the other, was demonstrated by the dilution curves in radioimmunoassay. A...
متن کاملKinetic comparisons of amniotic fluid inactive renin and renal renin using synthetic and human renin substrates.
Inactive renin has been isolated from pooled amniotic fluid and purified approximately 642-fold. Prior to activation the isolates had approximately 4% of the activity found after activation. The observation is similar to that reported for inactive renin from chorionic cell culture and suggests a placental origin of amniotic fluid inactive renin. Using plasma from an estrogen-treated woman, reni...
متن کاملThe Association of Amniotic Fluid Cadmium Levels with the Risk of Preeclampsia, Prematurity and Low Birth Weight
Background: Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal with ubiquitous environmental distribution. Cadmium is a potent reproductive and developmental toxic agent, and intensive environmental exposure to this substance has been reported among the residents of Tehran. In this study, we investigated the correlation between amniotic fluid cadmium levels and the risk of preeclampsia, prematurity and low bi...
متن کاملSodium balance, fluid homeostasis and the renin-aldosterone system during the prolonged exercise of hill walking.
1. The effect of 5 consecutive days of hill walking on electrolyte balance, fluid homeostasis, plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration was studied in five male subjects. 2. The 5-day exercise period was preceded by a 4-day control period and followed by a 4-day recovery period. Throughout the 13-day study subjects ate a fixed diet. 3. After 5 days of exercise subjects had ret...
متن کاملRelative influence of acute sodium and volume depletion on aldosterone secretion in nephrectomized man.
Plasma aldosterone concentration can increase in anephric man during hemodialysis despite the lack of kidneys to produce renin. Because the metabolic clearance rate of aldosterone does not change during hemodialysis, aldosterone secretion must increase in response to sodium depletion, volume depletion, or both. This study was designed to determine the relative influence of sodium and volume dep...
