[Regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Role of the prostaglandins].

PRA (in the supine and erect subject) and urinary sodium before and after acute treatment (100 mg i.m.) and chronic treatment (100 mg per os for 8 days) were examined in two groups of subjects with no signs of cardiovascular or renal disease. It was found that indomethacin, which is a well-known inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, reduced PRA levels in basal conditions and as a result of postural stimulation, without causing any appreciable change in urinary sodium. Regulation of the PRA on the part of the renal prostaglandins is postulated and its probable mechanisms discussed.

Effect of prostaglandin A on renin secretion in the dog.

The role of PGA on the release of renin in the anesthetized dog has been studied. The infusion of prostaglandin for 60 minutes at a dose unable to cause pressor modifications (2 microgram/kg/min) was shown to increase the plasma renin activity (PRA); this effect was inhibited by propranolol and strengthened by aminophylline.
