摘要: We investigated the effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor blockade with losartan on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in hypertensive patients (supine diastolic blood pressure, 95 to 110 mm Hg). Qualifying (n = 51) were allocated placebo, 25 or 100 mg losartan, 20 enalapril. Blood plasma drug concentrations, and mediators measured 4 inpatient days: end placebo run-in, after first dose, 2 6 weeks treatment. Plasma concentrations similar last doses losartan. At weeks, enalapril showed comparable antihypertensive activity. Four hours dosing, compared run-in day, increased renin activity 1.7-fold Ang 2.5-fold, whereas 2.8-fold decreased 77%. Both drugs aldosterone concentration. For increases greater at than weeks. Effects dose related. After changes by 36 hours. These results indicate that long-term feedback produces modest do not appear affect response antagonist.
