title: Membrane and secretory properties of renal juxtaglomerular granular cells.
abstract: 1. The control of renin secretion from renal juxtaglomerular granular cells on the cellular level is not yet completely understood. 2. There is evidence that calcium- and cyclic nucleotide-related pathways exert an opposite control of renin secretion. 3. There is accumulating evidence that the electrical properties of juxtaglomerular cells are important for the regulation of renin secretion.
