They may call it a plasma renin activity test or an aldosterone-renin ratio. A technician will take a sample of your blood and send it to a lab. The test results will tell you if your renin and ...

In HOPE, patients with elevated levels of plasma renin activity at baseline were at an increased risk of cardiovascular death, total mortality, and heart failure. The association between plasma ...

Decreased blood pressure activates juxtaglomerular cells, which leads to prorenin being cleaved into its active form – renin, which is then secreted into the bloodstream. Renin acts on ...

Aliskiren is one of a new class of orally active renin inhibitors that, with a half-life of approximately 40 hours, can be given once daily, he noted, and therefore may provide smoother continuous ...

The discovery and development of aliskiren (Tekturna) led to it becoming the first orally active renin inhibitor to be approved for clinical use. It was granted approval for the treatment of ...

Smith et al, Inhibition of Renin Expression Is Regulated by an Epigenetic Switch From an Active to a Poised State, Hypertension (2024). DOI: 10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.124.22886 ...

Local activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system ... the plasma ACE2 level may not be a reliable indicator of the activity of the full-length membrane-bound form, in part because ...

When they applied pressure to the renin cells, the baroreceptor reacted by decreasing activity in the renin gene Ren1, which in turn reduces the amount of renin released and thus reduces blood ...

To facilitate high throughput screening of renin inhibitors, we have developed new renin assay kits utilizing FRET peptide substrates. The SensoLyteTM 520 Renin Assay Kit contains FRET peptide labeled ...
