Effect of adrenalectomy on pressor responsiveness to angiotonin and renin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pressor response to injection of renin is reduced or abolished during adrenal insufficiency without concurrent change in response to angiotonin and other drugs. Selective loss of response to renin is considered to result from depletion of available renin-substrate by endogenous renin; when release of endogenous renin is precluded by nephrectomy, adrenalectomy does not cause diminution of response to renin. The increase in response to angiotonin and renin that follows nephrectomy is not prevented by adrenalectomy.

1. Angiotonin does not exert its vasoconstrictor effect in the absence of a substance contained in red blood cells and serum which we have called "angiotonin-activator." A fraction has been separated from blood in which angiotonin-activator is concentrated. It contains little or no reninactivator. 2. Repeated intravenous injections of angiotonin into animals causes the pressor response graduall...
متن کاملThe Cardiac Factor in the "pressor" Effects of Renin and Angiotonin
Upon the isolated hearts of cats perfused with Ringer-Locke solution renin produced no significant effect. Angiotonin, on the other hand, brought about decrease in coronary flow and increase in amplitude of beat without any consistent effect upon heart rate. Both renin and angiotonin augmented the cardiac output and raised the "arterial" pressure in the Starling heart-lung preparation; here too...

1. Renin reacts with renin-activator to form a strong pressor substance which is heat-stable, water- and alcohol-soluble, fluorescent, acid-stable, and alkali-labile. It is a reducing substance and is destroyed by strong oxidizing substances. It forms crystalline salts with oxalic and picric acids. The color reaction for arginine is the only one found to be strongly positive. It is suggested th...
متن کاملRenin Proteinuria in the Rat
In the rat renin induces an intense but transient proteinuria, associated with the excretion of fibrinogen but not accompanied by any evidence of damage to the glomerulus. The inactivation of renin with respect to its pressor effect leads to a loss of its capacity to induce proteinuria. Angiotonin, when given in large amounts, induces proteinuria in the rat. It is concluded that this form of pr...

One of the characteristics of the pressor substance which may cause essential hypertension in man or experimental renal hypertension in dogs must be an ability to elevate arterial pressure by constricting the arterioles sufficiently to increase peripheral resistance but not sufficiently to reduce blood flow. Clinical experience indicates that patients or animals with hypertension do not have co...
