| Abstract | The effects of chronic stress on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were studied by analysis of plasma hormone levels, kidney renin mRNA levels, adrenal angiotensin II receptors, and steroidogenesis in rats subjected to repeated immobilization (2 h daily) or intraperitoneal injections of 1.5 M NaCI for 14 d. 24 after the last stress in both stress models, plasma aldosterone levels were reduced in spite of significant increases in plasma renin activity. Repeatedly intraperitoneal hypertonic saline-injected rats showed plasma renin activity responses to acute immobilization similar to controls, but markedly reduced plasma aldosterone responses. Concomitant with the increases in plasma renin activity, renin mRNA levels in the kidney were significantly increased in intraperitoneal hypertonic saline-injected rats, and these increases were prevented by beta-adrenergic receptor blockade with propranolol. In isolated adrenal glomerulosa cells from chronically stressed rats, maximum aldosterone responses to angiotensin II, ACTH, and 8-Br-cAMP were significantly decreased, whereas pregnenolone responses were increased. P450-aldosterone synthetase mRNA levels and binding of 125I-[Sar1,Ile8] angiotensin II were significantly reduced in the adrenal zona glomerulosa of stressed rats. These studies show that chronic repeated stress leads to renin stimulation due to sympathetic activation, and inhibition of aldosterone secretion due to inhibition of the late steroidogenic pathway. The data provide evidence for a role of chronic stress in the development of hyperreninemic hypoaldosteronism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
