Rat aortic renin parallels plasma responses in experimental models; hypothesis-generating for linked mechanisms, should not yet change practice.
Do bilateral nephrectomy, water deprivation, or bilateral adrenalectomy alter plasma and aortic tissue renin activity in rats?
Arterial tissue renin in rats reacts to the same physiological stimuli that modify plasma renin activity, suggesting a linked regulatory mechanism.
Rosenthal et al. (1969) studied this question.
