Role for aldosterone in blood pressure regulation of obese adolescents.
To determine the role of aldosterone in the regulation of blood pressure (BP) in obese adolescents, supine and 2-hour upright plasma renin activity (PRA), and aldosterone and cortisol were measured in 10 nonobese and 30 obese adolescents before and after a 20-week weight loss program. The obese adolescents had significantly higher supine and 2-hour upright plasma aldosterone concentrations (17 ...
متن کاملAldosterone in uremia - beyond blood pressure.
Aldosterone was in the past considered only as a prohypertensinogenic agent. It has recently become clear that apart from the classical endocrine action, i.e. causing blood pressure elevation as a result of salt retention, aldosterone has numerous blood-pressure-independent actions on nonepithelial tissue. Under conditions of high salt concentration, aldosterone is injurious to the kidney, hear...
متن کاملPolycystic ovary syndrome: implications of corticotropin in the regulation of blood pressure, aldosterone, and androgen secretion.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications of Corticotropin in the Regulation of Blood Pressure, Aldosterone, and Androgen Secretion To the Editor: In a recent issue of Hypertension, Chen et al1 have described a correlation between androgen levels and blood pressure in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and this correlation was independent from age, insulin resistance, obesity, and...
متن کاملRole of prostacyclin in blood pressure regulation and aldosterone production in conscious rabbits.
The effects of subdepressor infusion of prostacyclin (PGI2, 5.3 pmol min-1 kg-1) on arterial pressure and aldosterone production induced by angiotensin II (ANG II) were studied in conscious rabbits. Indomethacin pretreatment caused an augmented blood pressure response after ANG II infusion, which returned to near control level after concomitant infusion of a subdepressor dose of PGI2. Aldostero...
متن کاملSerotonin and blood pressure regulation.
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) was discovered more than 60 years ago as a substance isolated from blood. The neural effects of 5-HT have been well investigated and understood, thanks in part to the pharmacological tools available to dissect the serotonergic system and the development of the frequently prescribed selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors. By contrast, our understanding of t...
