Age dependence of the levels of plasma norepinephrine, aldosterone, renin activity and urinary vanillylmandelic acid in normal and essential hypertensives.
In the present study the upper reference limits (URLs) for resting plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine, serum aldosterone, plasma renin activity, aldosterone/renin activity ratio, as well as urinary vanillylmandelic acid in healthy Egyptian normotensive subjects over a range of ages (5-60 yr) were established. There was a significant age effect on plasma norepinephrine, UVMA, serum aldosterone a...

متن کاملDetermination of urinary 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid (vanillylmandelic acid) by paper electrophoresis.
called vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), in urine has recently come into use as a confirmatory test for pheochromocytoma (1-6). Armstrong and his associates (1, 2, 7) discovered that this phenolic acid occurred in small amounts in normal human urine and in elevated concentrations in pheochromocytoma. As a result of their observations (1, 2) and especially of those by others in related investigations...
