 Context examples: 

Perindoprilat inhibits ACE and, thus, the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.

(Perindoprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

This agent also prevents angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, thereby promoting diuresis and natriuresis.

(Moexiprilat, NCI Thesaurus)

It also prevents angiotensin II-induced aldosterone secretion by the adrenal cortex, thereby promoting diuresis and natriuresis.

(Moexipril, NCI Thesaurus)

This protein plays a role in the modulation of diuresis, vasorelaxation and secretion of renin and aldosterone.

(Brain Natriuretic Peptide 32, NCI Thesaurus)

Inhibition of this enzyme in the kidney prevents excretion of hydrogen, leading to increased bicarbonate and cation excretion and increased urinary volume, which results in an alkaline diuresis.

(Acetazolamide, NCI Thesaurus)

Natural or synthetic Antihypertensive Preparations reduce elevated blood pressure through diverse mechanisms: calcium channel (and conductance) blockage, beta- and alpha-adrenergic blockage, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, etc.. Their effects induce diuresis and peripheral vasodilation.

(Antihypertensive Preparation, NCI Thesaurus)

Clofenamide inhibits CA, thereby preventing sodium, bicarbonate and thus water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule resulting in diuresis.

(Clofenamide, NCI Thesaurus)

Also, this agent prevents reabsorption of bicarbonate and sodium in the proximal convoluted tubule thereby producing a mild diuresis.

(Ethoxzolamide, NCI Thesaurus)

Disulfamide inhibits CA, thereby preventing sodium, bicarbonate and thus water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule resulting in diuresis.

(Disulfamide, NCI Thesaurus)

Upon hydrolysis, perindopril erbumine is converted to its active form perindoprilat, inhibiting ACE and the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; consequently, angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction and angiotensin II-stimulated aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex are inhibited and diuresis and natriuresis ensue.
