The tissue renin-angiotensin systems: focus on brain angiotensin, adrenal gland and arterial wall.

The possibility of local generation of angiotensin in these target tissues, where it has marked biological effects casts a new light on ang Elliotensin as a more ubiquitous tissue factor or even a neurohormone.

Cellular biology of the renin-angiotensin systems.

Evidence suggests that renin can be synthesized at local tissue sites and that these local renin-angiotensin systems subserve important physiologic functions.

Renin exists in high concentration in the adrenal gland of the rat

The adrenal gland was found to have the highest true renin activity per unit weight of protein among the various extrarenal tissues and the pH optimum of this adrenal renin was approximately 7.0, suggesting a control mechanism for adrenal function mediated by an intraadrenal ren in-angiotensin system in addition to the plasma renin-angiotsin system.

Renin exists in human adrenal tissue.

An adrenal gland that was surgically removed from a patient with Cushing's disease and had high renin activity was used for further characterization of the enzyme, and the lack of correlation between PRA and the adrenal renin suggested its local origin rather than contamination or contribution of the plasma enzyme.

The Vascular Renin System

Studies with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and more recently with specific AII receptor antagonists, have demonstrated that even when the circulating levels are low, AII remains a major regulator of many biological responses, including blood pressure.

Adrenal renin: A possible local hormonal regulator of aldosterone production

The renin-angiotensin system has the highest activity in the zona glomerulosa cells, the site of aldosterone formation, and may be a local regulator of a Aldosterone production.

Renin-angiotensin system.

The renin-angiotensin system in human testis is demonstrated by measuring the plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma angiotens in II (PAII), and testosterone in the internal spermatic vein (ISV) simultaneously after treatment with hCG, and the relationship between the renIn-angiotsin system and sex steroids from Leydig cells of the male gonad is elucidated.

A renin-like enzyme in luteal tissue

Coexpression of renin, angiotensinogen, and their messenger ribonucleic acids in adrenal tissues.

It is demonstrated that renin and angiotensinogen are coexpressed in normal and pathological tissues and there was no obvious relationship between the expression of these proteins and the pathophysiology of the adrenal gland.

Vascular Renin-Angiotensin System and Renovascular Hypertension

Evidence demonstrating the presence of renin and renin-like activity within the blood vessel wall, the source and possible physiological role of this material and the part which it plays in the pathogenesis of renovascular hypertension are considered.
