Serum glyccylproline p-nitroanilidase activity in human hypertension.

Abstract

Glycylproline p-nitroanilidase activity in serum from patients with essential hypertension was significantly higher than that from normotensive healthy subjects. In contrast, serum leucine beta-naphthylamidase activity did not differ significantly between hypertensive patients and normotensive controls.
