What Hormone Is Produced By Juxtaglomerular Cells? Renin is a hormone secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney; it interacts with a plasma protein substrate to produce a decapeptide prohormone angiotensin I. What hormones does the juxtaglomerular cells secrete in hypotension? The juxtaglomerular cells, derived from smooth muscle cells, of the afferent arteriole secrete

What Effect Does Constricting The Efferent Arteriole Have On The Filtration Process? What effect does constricting the efferent Arteriole have on the filtration process? During efferent arteriole constriction, GFR is increased, but RPF is decreased, resulting in increased filtration fraction. During a state of increased plasma protein concentration such as during multiple myeloma, GFR is
