RESUMO

In normotensive subjects, acute reduction of mean arterial pressure to from 60 to 75 mm Hg by infusion of sodium nitroprusside caused significant increase in renin activity of renal venous plasma and also in the renal-systemic difference of renin activity. At the same time, the products of the renal-systemic difference of renin activity and renal plasma flow increased significantly, whereas renin substrate activity of plasma was unchanged, indicating that there was an increase in renin release during reduction in pressure. Renin activity of renal venous plasma, expressed in logarithms, showed a significant correlation with the degree of reduction in pressure; an increase in renin activity became significant when mean arterial pressure was reduced to below a level of 70 to 75 mm Hg.
