    • 2015 July 21, “Regulation of Renal Hemodynamics and Function by RGS2”, in PLOS ONE‎, DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0132594:
      Myogenic constriction and tubuloglomerular feedback mechanisms mediate renal autoregulation; however, intrinsic factors including nitric oxide and agonists for guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors (GPCRs), particularly angiotensin II via the renin-angiotensin system, regulate RBF by modulating renal vascular resistance (RVR) in pre- and post-glomerular arterioles.
