1 Elevated levels of the vasocontrictor peptide endothelin-1 have been demonstrated in various pathological conditions that are characterized by sodium retention and/or renal vasoconstriction, such as heart failure, hepatorenal syndrome, renal failure and during administration of cyclosporin and radiocontrast. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
2 Infusion of low dosages of endothelin-1, that result in a twofold increase in plasma levels, decreased sodium excretion by 36%, without a significant effect on systemic and renal hemodynamics. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
3 Infusion of 2.5 ng/kg/min of endothelin-1 further enhanced sodium retention and, in addition, increased renal vascular resistance by 37%. Sodium endothelin 1 Homo sapiens
