On the control of renin release.
The role of carotid, aortic and cardiopulmonary receptors and of prostaglandins in the control of renin release was reviewed. It is suggested that the receptors in the low- and high-pressure circuits of the cardiovascular system control renin release through the renal sympathetic nerves and adrenal medulla. It is suggested that prostaglandins play a role in the control of renin release under certain pathophysiological conditions.
