Plasma noradrenaline, age and blood pressure: a population study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Mean supine plasma noradrenaline was lower in 12 male laboratory staff (0.24 +/- 0.02 microgram/l) than similarly normotensive out-patients (0.44 +/- 0.07 microgram/l). 2. In 164 non-medical hospital staff, plasma noradrenaline increased with age in white males only. 3. Plasma noradrenaline was significantly higher in women than men. 4. There was no relationship between supine blood pressure and plasma noradrenaline in normotensive or hypertensive subjects.

Relation of plasma noradrenaline to blood pressure, age, sex and sodium balance in patients with stable essential hypertension and in normotensive subjects.
1. Plasma noradrenaline was measured in 125 patients with stable essential hypertension (WHO I-II) and in 107 normotensive control subjects lying and standing. 2. In normotensive subjects and in patients with essential hypertension no sex-related differences of plasma noradrenaline were found between age-matched groups. 3. Plasma noradrenaline was not related to sodium balance indexed by urinar...

متن کاملThe Effect of Resistance Training on Plasma Levels of Endothelin 1 and Blood Pressure in Older Men
Introduction: Endothelin 1, which is secreted by vascular endothelial cells, has been identified as the most potent vasoconstrictor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a course of endothelin-1 plasma resistance training and its relationship with blood pressure in older men. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 elderly men (mean age 62.28 ± 8.08 years, height 17...

1. Erythrocyte catechol-O-methyltransferase was studied in a population sample of 147 subjects. 2. There was a wide interindividual variability of catechol-O-methyltransferase activity, which was not unimodally distributed. Catechol-O-methyltransferase activity was not influenced by blood pressure, age or sex, nor was it related to plasma noradrenaline or urinary catecholamines or metanephrines...

Background & Aims: Endothelin_1 secreted by endothelial cells has been identified as the strongest vascular constrictor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of concurrent training on plasma concentration of endothelin_1 and its relationship with blood pressure of old women. Methods: A total of 20 menopause women (Mean age: 67.47±5.92 years, mean body length: 152.92±7.52cm, ...
