SUMMARY 1. The control of renin secretion from renal juxtaglomerular granular cells on the cellular level is not yet completely understood. 2. There is evidence that calcium‐ and cyclic nucleotide‐related pathways exert an opposite control of renin secretion. 3. There is accumulating evidence that the electrical properties of juxtaglomerular cells are important for the regulation of renin secretion.
