Popis: SUMMARY 1. Medullipin I (Med I) is a hormone extracted from renal papillae and its renomedullary interstitial cells (RIC). Med I is stimulated by elevation of the renal artery perfusion pressure. 2. When isolated normal rat kidneys were perfused either with oxygenated blood or with 5% albumin bubbled with O2 at elevated perfusion pressures, Med I appeared to be secreted into the renal venous effluent (RVE). Addition of Tween 20, treatment of the assay rat with SKF 525A, inhibitor of cytochrome P-450 and removal of the liver from the systemic circulation prevented vasodepression of both the RVE and extracted Med I. The lipid in the RVE gave the same dose–response as extracted Med I. 3. Lowering the renal artery perfusion pressure below normal inhibited the secretion of Med I. As the perfusion pressure was elevated Med I secretion appeared to increase. 4. Previous observations and the present study support the view that the renin–angiotensin system and the Medullipin system are double feedback systems involved in blood pressure control.
