Hypothesis-generating in dogs; leaves open translation to human hypertension or renal disease.

To investigate the effects of auriculin on blood pressure, renal function, and the renin-aldosterone system in dogs.
Conducted experiments involving auriculin administration in canine models
Monitored changes in blood pressure, renal function, and renin-aldosterone levels
Utilized statistical analyses to assess the significance of findings
Auriculin significantly reduced blood pressure levels in treated dogs
Improved renal function observed as indicated by enhanced glomerular filtration rates
Alterations in the renin-aldosterone system were noted, suggesting a regulatory role of auriculin

Maack et al. (1985) studied this question.
