... output (CO) and decreased total peripheral resistance (TPR) without significant changes in GFR and RPF. The second ARG infusion induced acute rise of both GFR and RPF approximately twofold, compared with the IND-treated period. CO was also increased significantly. Plasma glucagon levels determined in 2...

... Wilcoxon). At the end of both dietary periods a comparable rise in renal function could be induced through acute stimulation (GFR-LP 20 ± 5, GFR-HP 16 ± 4; ERPF-LP 23 ± 7, ERPF-HP 22 ± 3%). Glucagon levels tended to fall during a HP diet (glucagon-LP 69 ± 11 versus glucagon HP 50 ± 12 ng/l), whereas...

The levels of blood urea nitrogen, serum osmotic pressure, plasma glucagon and serum insulin, but not plasma angiotensin II, were significantly...
