During reduction of RAP, preglomerular arteries are dilated at higher RAP than are afferentarterioles.
2
Immunohistochemistry demonstrated an increase in the number of renin-containing cells in both the afferentarterioles and the interlobular arteries.
3
Apelin administration caused vasorelaxation of angiotensin II-preconstricted efferent and afferentarterioles as shown by an increase in their diameter.
4
Glomerular lesions of FSGS were associated with unusual hyaline lesions, which appeared to represent individual myocyte necrosis in afferentarterioles and small arteries.
