1 Renal plasma flow response to captopril, as an index of renin-angiotensin system activity, was measured by para-aminohippurate clearance technique in 100 healthy, normotensive subjects in balance on a high-salt diet. Captopril renin Homo sapiens
2 After adjustment for other predictors of the renal plasma flow response to captopril using a multivariate linear regression model, there was a highly significant relationship between age- and plasma renin activity-adjusted body mass index and the renal plasma flow response to captopril; however, a quadratic model provided a substantially better fit (r=0.55; P<0.0001; P=0.03 versus linear correlation). Captopril renin Homo sapiens
