J Physiol 569:959-74. 2005..We conclude that NO normally restrains the strength and speed of the myogenic response in RBF but not hindlimb autoregulation, an action dependent on TGF, thereby allowing more and slow RAP fluctuations to reach glomerular capillaries...

Mechanisms of renal blood flow autoregulation: dynamics and contributionsArmin Just
Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7545, USA
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 292:R1-17. 2007..NO attenuates the strength, speed, and contribution of MR, whereas ANG II does not modify the balance of the autoregulatory mechanisms...
A novel mechanism of renal blood flow autoregulation and the autoregulatory role of A1 adenosine receptors in miceArmin Just
Dept of Cell and Molecular Physiology, 6341 Medical Biomolecular Research Bldg, CB 7545, School of Medicine, Univ of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7545, USA
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 293:F1489-500. 2007..A fourth mechanism with kinetics similar to TGF but independent of A1AR and furosemide might also contribute. A1AR mediate classical TGF but not TGF-MR interaction...
Role of angiotensin II in dynamic renal blood flow autoregulation of the conscious dogArmin Just

J Physiol 538:167-77. 2002..Consequently, it appears that ANGII augments not only TGF, but also the myogenic response...
Dynamic characteristics and underlying mechanisms of renal blood flow autoregulation in the conscious dogA Just
Institut fur Physiologie und Pathophysiologie, Universitat Heidelberg, D 69120 Heidelberg, Germany
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 280:F1062-71. 2001..The three mechanisms contribute about equally to resting RVR. The myogenic response is faster in the kidney than in the hindlimb...
Reactive oxygen species participate in acute renal vasoconstrictor responses induced by ETA and ETB receptorsArmin Just

Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 294:F719-28. 2008..This physiological constrictor action of ROS does not depend on scavenging of NO. In contrast, scavenging of O(2)(-) by NO seems to be more important during ET(B) stimulation...
NO and NO-independent mechanisms mediate ETB receptor buffering of ET-1-induced renal vasoconstriction in the ratArmin Just
Dept of Cell and Molecular Physiology, 6341 Medical Biomolecular Research Bldg, CB 7545, School of Medicine, Univ of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 7545, USA
