Abstract excerpt
Deletion of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) causes impairment of postnatal kidney development. Here we tested whether the renin angiotensin system contributes to COX-2-dependent nephrogenesis in mice after birth and whether a rescue of impaired renal development and function in COX-2-/- mice was achievable. Plasma renin concentration in mouse pups showed a birth peak and a second peak around day P8 during the first 10...
