Interaction of intrarenal adenosine and angiotensin II in kidney vascular resistance Review uri icon

abstract

  • The ADO-metabolizing enzymes have become important regulators of the effects of ADO on the tone of the afferent and efferent arterioles. As Angll is able to increase de-novo renal ADO content through decrease of ADO-metabolizing enzymes, accumulation of ADO induces downregulation of ADO A2 receptor population without modifying ADO A1 receptor, thereby enhancing the constrictive effects of Angll in the renal vasculature. © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health.
