Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nonmodulation seems to represent an inheritable trait characterized by abnormal angiotensin-mediated control of aldosterone release and renal blood supply and salt-sensitive hypertension. Recently, we demonstrated that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) response to angiotensin II also is altered in nonmodulators. Moreover, an abnormal ANP response to acute volume expansion has been shown by others in...
