Abstract

To study the influence of endothelium derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide (EDNO) on renin gene expression, the effects of a 2-day treatment with the NO-synthase inhibitor nitro-L-arginine-methylester (L-NAME, 40 mg/kg twice a day) on plasma renin activity (PRA) and renal and adrenal renin m-RNA levels were examined in conscious rats with and without unilateral renal clips (0.2 mm). In ...
