 Context examples 

Inhibition of ACE results in a reduction in angiotensin II and angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion, causing vasodilation and natriuresis.

(ACE inhibitor, NCI Thesaurus)

This agent also decreases aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, which leads to an increase in natriuresis.

(Enalaprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

Perindoprilat inhibits ACE and, thus, the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

(Perindoprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

This agent also prevents angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, thereby promoting diuresis and natriuresis.

(Moexiprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

It also prevents angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, thereby promoting diuresis and natriuresis.

(Moexipril, NCI Thesaurus)

This results in vasodilatation, increased renal blood flow thereby enhancing natriuresis and diuresis leading to a lowering in diastolic blood pressure.

(Fenoldopam, NCI Thesaurus)

Upon hydrolysis, perindopril erbumine is converted to its active form perindoprilat, inhibiting ACE and the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

(Perindopril Erbumine, NCI Thesaurus)

Upon hydrolysis, perindopril is converted to its active form perindoprilat, inhibiting ACE and the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

(Perindopril, NCI Thesaurus)

Expressed in heart and vasculature by human NPR2 Gene (Guanylyl Cyclase Family), type I integral membrane protein Natriuretic Peptide Receptor B is the primary receptor for C-type natriuretic peptides that cause natriuresis, sodium excretion in the urine.
