  • Title: Effects of right atrial stretch on plasma renin activity.
    Author: Annat G, Grandjean B, Vincent M, Jarsaillon E, Sassard J.
    Journal: Arch Int Physiol Biochim; 1976 Apr; 84(2):311-5. PubMed ID: 71035.
    Abstract:
    In anaesthetized dog, right atrial stretch leads in the first five minutes to a decrease in plasma renin activity, when measured in inferior vena cava just above the renal veins. Bilateral cervical vagotomy increases plasma renin activity. After vagotomy, atrial stretch no longer has any effect on plasma renin activity. The results support the hypothesis of a control of renin secretion originating from atrial volume receptors.
