homeostasis/metabolism
• exhibit reduced basal levels of renin expression and very low plasma renin concentrations
|
• urine osmolarity is only slightly above isotonicity and significantly lower than in controls
|
• excretion of PGE2 in urine is significantly higher
|
• acute stimulation of renin release in response to furosemide, hydralazine, and isoproterenol are abolished
|
renal/urinary system
• urine osmolarity is only slightly above isotonicity and significantly lower than in controls
|
• excretion of PGE2 in urine is significantly higher
|
• renin release by juxtaglomerular cells is significantly lower
|
cardiovascular system
• reduction in mean arterial blood pressure both at night and during the day
