The renin angiotensin aldosterone system

Aim

The course is based on lectures on topics ranging from enzyme reactions over cellular aspects of renin secretion to recent clinical advances. New technologies: Cross-transplantation strategy in AT(1A) receptor-deficient mice to demonstrate distinct contributions of AT(1) receptor actions in the kidney and in extrarenal tissues. Multiphoton fluorescence imaging used to directly observe and quantify basic physiological parameters of the kidney including blood flow, glomerular filtration and permeability. The course includes hands-on experience and practical guidance with regard to measurements of the variables of the RAAS.
