Abstract
Summary
A simple, sensitive, and accurate method for the routine measurement of plasma renin in the rat is described. It is based on the determination of angiotensin I formed when plasma is incubated with an excess of purified homologous substrate. Plasma angiotensinase activity is inhibited by the combination of EDTA, DFP, and BAL, thus permitting complete recovery of angiotensin and renin.
