Structure of human renin and expression of the renin gene.

abstract：:Serotonin causes a dose related (0.1-20 micrograms/kg i.v.) increase in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate in conscious sheep. Ketanserin (0.1 mg/kg per h i.v.) causes a decrease in blood pressure, and an increase in heart rate. In the presence of ketanserin, serotonin induced increases in MAP are atten...
