The effects of cyclic AMP, theophylline, angiotensin II and electrolytes upon renin release from rat kidney slices.
The effects of cyclic AMP, theophylline, angiotensin II and electrolytes upon renin release were examined by incubation of rat kidney slices.  Angiotensin inhibited renin release with increasing concentrations.  On the other hand, cyclic AMP and theophylline stimulated it.  Calcium also seemed to play an important role in the control of renin release from kidney slices.  However, the direct effects of sodium and potassium upon renin release were not conspicuous.
