Several studies reported sex differences in aldosterone. It is unknown whether these
differences are associated with differences in volume regulation. Therefore we studied both …

Introduction. Sodium loading, and subsequent volume expansion, suppresses aldosterone
levels in individuals with normal renal function. We hypothesised that loss of renal function …

The relationship between biological sex and aldosterone on blood pressure (BP) is unclear.
We hypothesized that sex would modify the interaction between aldosterone and vascular …

Prospective studies indicate that hyperaldosteronism is found in 20% of patients with
resistant hypertension. A small number of observational studies in normotensive and …

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between aldosterone and blood
pressure in a total of 220 normotensive and 293 essential hypertensive subjects in 2 …

BACKGROUND:: The adrenal mineralocorticoid aldosterone promotes sodium (Na+)
reabsorption and potassium (K+) loss from the kidney. Female sex steroids such as estrogen …

Background In a previous study we found that high angiotensin II levels in relation to the
corresponding urinary sodium excretion aggravate left ventricular hypertrophy in …

The adrenal gland secretion of aldosterone is closely linked to the volume and composition
of the plasma compartment via the renin-angiotensin II system. In contrast, alterations in the …

OBJECTIVE: Cardiac growth may be modulated in part by the trophic effects of
neurohormones. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between the …

Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that the redistribution of blood
volume and concomitant relative central hypervolemia induced by water immersion to the …
