Depletion of Tissue Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Differentially Influences the Intrarenal and Urinary Expression of Angiotensin Peptides

ABSTRACT—The relative contribution of circulating versus tissue renin-angiotensin systems to the tissue expression of angiotensin peptides in the kidney remains unresolved. To address this issue, intrarenal and urinary levels of the peptide products of the renin-angiotensin system were assessed in a...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT—The relative contribution of circulating versus tissue renin-angiotensin systems to the tissue expression of angiotensin peptides in the kidney remains unresolved. To address this issue, intrarenal and urinary levels of the peptide products of the renin-angiotensin system were assessed in a tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme knockout (tis ACE) mouse model. Systolic blood pressure was significantly lower (64.6±3.6 versus 81.4±4.5 mm Hg; P
