单词	renin
释义	renin /ˈriːnɪn / noun [mass noun] Biochemistry An enzyme secreted by and stored in the kidneys which promotes the production of the protein angiotensin.The greatest cause is probably due to lower production of hormones such as renin, angiotensin and aldosterone, caused by the increased stress (these hormones assist the body in retaining fluid).... All these changes act directly or indirectly as stimuli for the release of the enzyme renin in the kidneys, triggering a sequence of chemical events in the blood of which the end product is angiotensin II. By causing volume and sodium depletion, thiazide diuretics stimulate the production of renin and angiotensin. Origin Late 19th century: from Latin ren 'kidney' + -in1.
