Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: The study included 37 patients (mean age 38.2 +/- 1.6 years) with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension. The control group consisted of 21 healthy volunteers (mean age 35.6 +/- 1.4 years). ET-1, neuropeptide Y and ANP were determined by radioimmunoassay methods and catecholamine plasma concentration was determined radioenzymatically. RESULTS: CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that ET-1 is relevant in the development and maintenance of elevated blood pressure.
