... −1 ml −1 , respectively, thereby indicating that the predominant form of plasma human renin is the inactive form, as is the case in humans. 2. The molecular masses of plasma human active and inactive renin and renal human active renin in the hRN8-12 mice were estimated to be 46kDa, 48kDa and 44kDa...

...W. A. Hsueh; R. Goldstone; E. J. Carlson; R. Horton 1. Administration of a single dose of captopril, 50 mg, to normal man (n = 7) on a low salt intake induced a 12.5 ± 0.9-fold rise in active renin. The rise in active renin was associated with a reciprocal decrease in circulating inactive renin...

... compared with that of untreated rat plasma. 3. It is concluded that, in contrast to human plasma, no inactive form of renin is present in rat plasma. 15 9 1981 12 11 1981 © 1982 The Biochemical Society and the Medical Research Society 1982 active renin inactive renin plasma renin...

... the isoprenaline infusion. 3. No significant changes in either plasma renin activity or renal function were observed in a group of ten control animals. 4. The magnitude of the isoprenaline-induced changes in plasma active renin was similar to that in a previous study of frusemide diuresis, but the time course...

... patients with RVHT the renal vein to artery ratio for active renin on the affected side was above the range found in EHT and in six of them the renal vein to artery ratio for inactive renin was also elevated. 3. The diazoxide-induced release of active renin from kidneys, which had a stenotic artery...
