EFFECT OF RENAL ARTERY DISEASE ON RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM AND OXIDATIVE STRESS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究的目的是确定与无肾动脉狭窄的人相比，肾动脉狭窄（狭窄）的人是否具有升高的血管紧张素II及其相关蛋白水平。 研究人员还想确定改善肾脏血液供应对这些蛋白质水平的影响。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The purpose of this study is to determine whether people with kidney artery stenosis (narrowing) have elevated levels of angiotensin II and its related proteins as compared to levels in people without renal artery stenosis. The investigators would also like to determine the effect of improving blood supply to the kidneys on the levels of these proteins.
