Impact of gender on the renal response to angiotensin II. Background It is clear that women
with renal disease progress to end stage at a slower rate than do men. We hypothesized that …

We measured the effective renal plasma flow, the glomerular filtration rate and the fractional
excretion of sodium under low and high sodium intakes in the normotensive offspring of …

The natriuretic and intra-arterial blood pressure response to an acute saline load (1000 mL
0.9% NaCl), was studied in normotensive young men with positive (n= 11) and negative (n …

Objective: Both endothelin-1 and nitric oxide make important contributions to the
maintenance of basal peripheral arteriolar tone. However, the role of angiotensin II, a key …

Objectives An enhanced sensitivity to angiotensin II in the renal circulation has been
demonstrated in the pre-hypertensive phase both in the spontaneously hypertensive rat and …

Angiotensin II (All) has many potential effects on blood pressure regulation in addition to
direct vasoconstriction. This study tested the hypothesis that minimally pressor infusions of …

Although the circulating renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is suppressed in salt-sensitive
populations, the role of the intrarenal RAS in blood pressure (BP) control in these groups …

Objective: To determine whether the effects of angiotensin I (AngI) in humans can be
explained entirely by its plasmatic conversion to angiotensin II (AngII). Methods: Ten healthy …

Obesity is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for renal disease, but the mechanism is
unclear. Renal plasma flow response to captopril, as an index of renin-angiotensin system …

1. Sodium restriction increases adrenal and decreases vascular sensitivity to angiotensin II
(ANG II). These responses may be mediated either by the circulating level of ANG II or other …
