Excitation-secretion coupling for active and inactive renin was investigated by manipulating the ionic composition of media in which rabbit kidney cortex slices were incubated. Alterations in [Ca++] and [K+] produced qualitatively similar, but quantitatively distinct, changes in the release of the two forms of renin. Under control conditions, the slices secreted 15-20% of total renin in the inactive form and exposure to Ca++-free or low [K+] media increased this to 30-40%, a similar proportion to that stored within the kidney. Decreasing [Na+] stimulated release of active renin but reduced inactive renin. There appeared to be antagonism between the effects of Na+ and Ca++ ions in respect of active renin but synergism for release of the inactive form. It is suggested that the characteristics of a single renin release mechanism in the rat kidney resemble those for secretion of inactive, rather than active, renin in other species.
