    Notes: Summary The time course of the blood pressure lowering effect and the dose-response relationship of the new angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor ramipril (HOE 498) were studied in 8 patients with essential hypertension. As compared with placebo, a single oral dose of 2.5 mg ramipril lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The antihypertensive action of single oral doses of 5, 7.5 and 10 mg ramipril was more pronounced. No change in heart rate occurred. Angiotensin converting enzyme activity was suppressed after all doses of ramipril studied. Plasma renin activity increased after 2.5 mg and 5 mg ramipril. Plasma aldosterone was not affected by 2.5 mg, but it fell after 5 mg ramipril. Thus, ramipril produced prolonged inhibition (more than 12 hours) of angiotensin converting enzyme activity and lowered blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.

    Plasma dopamine-β-hydroxylase activity and the pressor effect of dopamine infusion in man (1976)

    Notes: Summary In order to study the function of dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) in human plasma, dopamine, its natural substrate, was infused intravenously in 22 healthy volunteers. Their plasma DBH activities showed great interindividual variations (31–301 units/ml). The infusion rates of dopamine required to increase systolic blood pressure (BP) by 30 mm Hg differed considerably between the subjects, and ranged from 3,0 to 11,6 µg/kg/min. No correlation could be shown between the various dopamine doses and individual plasma levels of DBH. It was concluded, therefore, that plasma DBH in the blood stream was enzymatically inactive. Experiments with human plasma DBH in vitro also support this interpretation. Consequently, interindividual differences in the effects on BP during dopamine infusion cannot be due to pressor effects of noradrenaline synthesized by plasma DBH.

    Studies on the autonomic nervous system in borderline hypertension (1982)
    Springer

    ISSN: 1432-1041
    Keywords: hypertension ; plasma adrenaline ; plasma noradrenaline ; isoprenaline response ; noradrenaline response ; salivation ; parasympathetic nervous system

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary Parameters of the autonomic nervous system were studied in normotensive subjects (NT; standing blood pressure (BP)≤125/85 mmHg) and in subjects with borderline hypertension (BHT; 140/90≤standing BP〈60/100 mmHg). No differences in plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline levels were found between NT and BHT subjects, neither at rest nor during exercise at 75% of maximum work capacity. The dose of noradrenaline required to increase systolic BP by 10 mmHg was significantly higher in NT than in BHT subjects (5.13±0.42 vs 3.50±0.57 µg · min−1). No difference between NT and BHT subjects was found in the dose of isoprenaline required to increase heart rate by 20 beats · min−1 (1.21±0.12 vs 1.09±0.11 µg · min−1). Resting salivary flow was significantly lower in BHT than in NT subjects (0.39±0.06 vs 0.98±0.06 g · min−1), suggesting decreased parasympathetic activity in the former group. The enhanced pressor effect of noradrenaline, together with the decreased parasympathetic activity, could explain the elevated blood pressure and heart rate in subjects with borderline hypertension.

    Notes: Summary In a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, the plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels of nine young and ten elderly hypertensive patients were compared after placebo and after treatment with 120 mg verapamil given three times daily over 4 weeks. During placebo, plasma ANP levels proved to be higher in elderly patients than in young subjects. Chronic treatment with verapamil induced a rise in ANP levels in both young and elderly patients with hypertension.

    A comparison of catecholamine concentrations and dopamine-β-hydroxylase activities in plasma from normotensive subjects and from patients with essential hypertension at rest and during exercise (1976)

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In 8 normotensive subjects and in 8 patients with essential hypertension total catecholamine content and dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) activity in plasma were measured at rest and during physical exercise. Catecholamine levels at rest were significantly higher in the hypertensive than in the normotensive persons whereas the 2 groups of subjects did not differ in DBH activity at rest. At a work load of 150 watts there was a more pronounced increase of the catecholamine concentrations and of the DBH activity in the hypertensive patients than in the normotensives. One may conclude from the data that there is an increased sympathetic nerve activity in patients with essential hypertension.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 8 Normotonikern sowie bei 8 Patienten mit essentieller Hypertonie wurden die Konzentrationen der Gesamtkatecholamine und die Aktivität der Dopamin-β-Hydroxylase (DBH) im Plasma unter Ruhebedingungen und während körperlicher Belastung gemessen. Bei den Hypertonikern waren die Ruhewerte der Katecholamine signifikant höher als bei den Normotonikern, während die DBH-Aktivität unter diesen Bedingungen bei beiden Gruppen gleich war. Bei einer Ergometerbelastung von 150 Watt stiegen die Katecholaminspiegel und die DHB-Aktivität bei den Hochdruckkranken stärker an als bei den Probanden mit normalem Blutdruck. Aus den Untersuchungsergebnissen kann man schließen, daß bei Patienten mit essentieller Hypertonie eine erhöhte Aktivität sympathischer Nerven besteht.
