1. The injection of trypsin into both renal arteries of the dog was found to cause an acute necrosis of large sections of the kidney, an immediate excretory insufficiency, and a transient hypertension. 2. Dogs surviving the acute phase of the trypsin injection, developed a chronic renal excretory insufficiency with no hypertension, despite the severity and duration of the renal excretory insuff...

In hypertension caused by unilateral renal artery stenosis, the nonstenotic kidney becomes renin depleted but fails to prevent hypertension. The nonstenotic kidney mysteriously develops elevated intrarenal angiotensin II (ANG II) content. Rats chronically infused with ANG II exhibit a similar hypertensive process. The augmentation of intrarenal ANG II is due to receptor-mediated internalization...

The purpose of this study was to determine if hypertrophied myocardium was associated with diminished cardiac function, restricted oxygen supply, or oxygen consumption during tachycardia. Myocardial oxygen supply and oxygen consumption were determined during baseline and atrial pacing conditions 30 days after New Zealand White rabbits were prepared as one-kidney, one clip Goldblatt hypertensive...

Indomethacin inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandin and the release of renin. These effects were studied in normal rabbits and rabbits with two-kidney Goldblatt hypertension (2KGH) and one-kidney Goldblatt hypertension (1KGH) by giving daily intravenous injections of indomethacin (3mg/kg after two initial doses of 9 mg/kg), and in appropriate control rabbits given diluent phosphate buffer with...

• In 1934, Goldblatt and associates constricted the renal arteries in dogs and produced chronic arterial hypertension. Numerous attempts have been made to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for this sustained elevation of arterial pressure and many workers have suggested that there is increased activity of the renin-angiotensin system. In recent years, several studies" have indicated that cir...

Renovascular hypertension has its experimental counterpart in the two-kidney, one clip model (Goldblatt hypertension). From the study of this model, a general pathophysiological scheme has evolved suggesting that temporal stages in the development and maintenance of hypertension are regulated by complicated hormonal and neural interrelations. The central roles played by the renin-angiotensin sy...
