(physical chemistry) a fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors; a gas becomes a plasma when it is heated until the atoms lose all their electrons, leaving a highly electrified collection of nuclei and free electrons; "particles in space exist in the form of a plasma"

Increased urinary excretion of the epithelial Na channel activator prostasin in patients with primary aldosteronism.

Pizzolo F1, Chiecchi L, Morandini F, Castagna A, Zorzi F, Zaltron C, Pattini P, Chiariello C, Salvagno G, Olivieri O.
Journal of hypertension.J Hypertens.2017 Feb;35(2):355-361. doi: 10.1097/HJH.0000000000001168.
OBJECTIVES: Prostasin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored serine protease that is released in urine and is involved in epithelial Na channel activation. A direct association between urinary prostasin (u-prostasin) concentration and activation of the aldosterone-driven pathway has been suggest

TRPV4 participates in pressure-induced inhibition of renin secretion by juxtaglomerular cells.

Seghers F1, Yerna X1, Zanou N1, Devuyst O2, Vennekens R3, Nilius B3, Gailly P1.
The Journal of physiology.J Physiol.2016 Dec 15;594(24):7327-7340. doi: 10.1113/JP273595. Epub 2016 Dec 2.
KEY POINTS: Increase in blood pressure in the renal afferent arteriole is known to induce an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]i ) of juxtaglomerular (JG) cells and to result in a decreased secretion of renin. Mechanical stimulation of As4.1 JG cells induces an increase in [Ca2+ ]i

Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone but not aldosterone is correlated with blood pressure in patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas.

Kobayashi H1, Haketa A1, Takahiro U1, Otsuka H2, Tanaka S1, Hatanaka Y1, Ikeda Y1, Abe M1, Fukuda N1,3, Soma M1,2.
Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.).J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich).2016 Dec 5. doi: 10.1111/jch.12956. [Epub ahead of print]
Although plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) varies depending on primary aldosteronism (PA) subtypes, patients with different subtypes may have similar blood pressure (BP). The authors hypothesized that hormones other than aldosterone might influence BP in PA patients. A total of 73 PA cases, inc
