| 설명 | 콩팥에서 신장의 혈류와 혈압을 감지하는 세포인 치밀반점(macula densa)과 토리곁세포(JG cell)에서 혈류와 혈압의 저하가 있을 경우에 레닌이라는 물질이 분비되게 된다. 이 레닌이라는 물질은 혈중에 존재하는 안지오텐신이라는 물질을 안지오텐신 I으로 변화시키고 이 안지오텐신 I이라는 물질은 안지오텐신 I 전환효소에 의해서 안지오텐신II라는 물질로 된다. 안지오텐신과 안지오텐신 I이라는 물질은 그 작용이 거의 없지만 안지오텐신 II라는 물질은 강력하게 혈관수축을 시키고 이로 인해서 혈압의 상승을 가져오며 동시에 부신을 자극하여 알도스테론을 분비하게 한다. 안지오텐신이란 혈관을 수축시키고 알도스테론의 분비를 유도함으로써 혈압의 상승을 가져오는 물질이다. 그리고 그 작용은 레닌-안지오텐신-알도스테론으로 이어지는 체계에 의해서 조절되고 이루어진다. |

| renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system | The hormones, renin, angiotensin, and aldosterone work together to regulate blood pressure. A sustained fall in blood pressure causes the kidney to release renin. This is converted to angiotensin in the circulation. Angiotensin then raises blood pressure directly by arteriolar constriction and stimulates adrenal gland to produce aldosterone which promotes sodium and water retention by kidney, such that blood volume and blood pressure increase.

|---|---|
| renin-angiotensin system | <physiology> A system consisting of renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme, and angiotensin II. Renin, an enzyme produced in the kidney, acts on angiotensinogen, an alpha-2 globulin produced by the liver, forming angiotensin I. The converting enzyme contained in the lung acts on angiotensin I in the plasma converting it to angiotensin II, the most powerful directly pressor substance known. It causes contraction of the arteriolar smooth muscle and has other indirect actions mediated through the adrenal cortex. (25 Jun 1999) |
| renin | <enzyme> An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyses cleavage of the leucine leucine bond in angiotensin to generate angiotensin. 1. The enzyme is synthesised as inactive prorenin in the kidney and released into the blood in the active form in response to various metabolic stimuli. Not to be confused with rennin (chymosin). (25 Jun 1999) |
| plasma renin activity | The estimation of renin in plasma by measuring the rate of formation of angiotensin I or II. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldosterone | <endocrinology, hormone> A steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, that controls salt and water balance in the kidney. Abnormally high levels of this hormone cause sodium retention, high blood pressure, heart rhythum irregularities and possibly paralysis (18 Nov 1997) |
| aldosterone antagonist | An agent that opposes the action of the adrenal hormone aldosterone on renal tubular mineralocorticoid retention; these agents, e.g., spironolactone, are useful in treating the hypertension of primary hyperaldosteronism, or the sodium retention of secondary hyperaldosteronism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aldosterone antagonists | Compounds which inhibit or antagonise the biosynthesis or actions of aldosterone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, aldosterone | Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind aldosterone and mediate its cellular effects. The aldosterone-bound receptor acts in the nucleus to regulate the transcription of specific segments of DNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hormone, aldosterone | Hormone produced by the outer portion (cortex) of the adrenal gland that regulates the balance of water and electrolytes (ions such as potassium and sodium) in the body. Aldosterone encourages the kidney to excrete potassium into the urine and to retain sodium, thereby retaining water. Aldosterone is classified as a mineralocorticoid hormone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cold pressor test | A cardiocirculatory challenge conventionally performed by immersing one hand in ice cold water for two or more minutes (as tolerated) to acutely raise the blood pressure, thus imposing resistance to ejection of blood from the left ventricle into the systemic arterial system and consequently acutely increased afterload (afterload = increased left ventricular wall stress). Synonym: Hines-Brown test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressor | <physiology> Causing, or giving rise to, pressure or to an increase of pressure; as, pressor nerve fibres, stimulation of which excites the vasomotor center, thus causing a stronger contraction of the arteries and consequently an increase of the arterial blood pressure. Compare: depressor. (05 Mar 1998) |
| pressor amine | One of several products of intestinal putrefaction believed to cause functional hypertension when absorbed, any alkaline substance that raises blood pressure. Synonym: pressor amine, pressor substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressor base | One of several products of intestinal putrefaction believed to cause functional hypertension when absorbed, any alkaline substance that raises blood pressure. Synonym: pressor amine, pressor substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressor fibres | Sensory nerve fibre's whose stimulation causes vasoconstriction and rise of blood pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressor nerve | An afferent nerve, stimulation of which excites a reflex vasoconstriction, thereby raising the blood pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
