Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of dietary NaCl intake on renin gene expression in the kidneys and adrenal glands of adult rats. Rats were kept on low (0.02%, w/w), normal (0.6%) or high (4%) NaCl diets and plasma renin activity (PRA) and the relative abundance of renin messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in renal and adrenal tissue were followed for 20 days. In animals on a ...
