Highlights renoprotective cortical eNOS in early ANG II hypertension; hypothesis-generating for human renal hemodynamics.
Does inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis affect renal hemodynamics differently in ANG II-infused hypertensive rats compared to control rats?
Cortical Ca2+-dependent NOS (primarily endothelial NOS) is stimulated during early ANG II-induced hypertension and exerts a renoprotective effect on cortical hemodynamics.
Navar et al. (2000) studied this question.
