Animal data bolster calcium's role in renin control; hypothesis-generating and leaves open human relevance.
These findings support the hypothesis that decreased cytoplasmic calcium in juxtaglomerular cells stimulates renin release, modulated by perfusion pressure, membrane potential, and Ca-Na exchange.
Fray et al. (1979) studied this question.
