Cerebral renin-like activity in different functional conditions (author's transl)]

Using the Boucher micromethod of determining renin activity in the frontoparietal cortex, brain stem, hypothalamus, hypophysis, and epiphysis rat tissue in different functional conditions, we have observed the following: 1 In rats previously treated with an I. V., injection of 1-1.5 ml 10% NaCl, an increase of renin-like activity was found in the cerebral cortex, brain stem and hypothalamus, whereas in the grandular tissue there was a significant decrease...
