Differential regulation of osteopontin expression in the clipped and nonclipped kidney of two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats.

abstract：:Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) blockade increases blood pressure (BP) and modifies glomerular and tubular function. Angiotensin II (AII) blockade restores glomerular and tubular function but does not lower BP. We measured plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma (AIIp), and kidney tissue (AIIk) AII with radioimmunoassay to in...
