title: Hormonal regulation of glomerular filtration.
abstract: Technological advances within the last decade now permit examination of the effects of various vasoactive substances on glomerular hemodynamics and the filtration process. By modulating the vasomotor tone of the preglomerular and postglomerular arterioles, these substances influence the rate of plasma entering the glomerulus and the pressure within the glomerular capillaries. In addition, hormones appear to influence the permeability of glomerular capillaries by altering the surface area available for filtration.
