Objective To assess whether interindividual variation in renal plasma flow or in its response
to angiotensin II infusion is associated with interindividual differences in blood pressure in a …

Normotensive young men (mean age 36 years) with positive (PFH)(n= 13) and negative (n=
29) family histories of hypertension were investigated in order to study systemic and renal …

Background Results from previous studies suggested that a blunted response of renal
plasma flow (RPF) to angiotensin II infusion during a high-sodium diet (a phenotype …

Current evidence suggests that angiotensin-(1–7) plays an important role in the regulation of
tissue blood flow. This evidence, however, is restricted to studies in animals and human …

This study tested the hypothesis that gender affects the pressor and renal vasoconstrictor
responses to angiotensin (Ang) I and Ang II in salt-replete normotensive subjects. Ang I and …

Previous studies have suggested striking racial differences in hypertension-related renal
disease. To explore potential mechanisms responsible for these differences, we investigated …

Abstract Background and Methods. The kidney is important in blood-pressure regulation, but
its role in the development of essential hypertension is still subject to debate. We compared …

Journal. Briefly, they report a positive correlation between sodium excretion and urinary
angiotensinogen levels. Moreover, urine angiotensinogen levels were correlated with blood …

Objective We compared the renal vascular response to captopril and candesartan among
nondiabetic, normotensive black and white participants to explore angiotensin-converting …

The incidence of end-stage renal disease attributable to hypertension is 5-fold greater in
African Americans than in whites. To determine whether glomerular hyperfiltration is an …
