Amiloride reduces arterial pressure in cyp1a1ren-2 transgenic rats in association with increased renal sodium excretion without affecting renal vascular function. In this model of hypertension sustained activation of the RAAS does not lead to increased ENaC expression in small intrarenal arteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
