1 Compared to those on the control day, a significant rise in the integrated PRA levels occurred on the first day of nifedipine treatment, with a further rise observed on the eighth day of the treatment in the normotensive subjects (1.1 +/- 0.6, 1.7 +/- 1.2, and 2.5 +/- 1.8 ng/mL.h on the control day and the first and eighth days of treatment, respectively; P < 0.05) and by the eighth day in the hypertensive subjects (2.2 +/- 2.8 and 4.0 +/- 4.1 ng/mL.h; P < 0.05).

2 When individual time points were examined in the normotensive subjects, Aldo/PRA levels were significantly lower on day 8 of nifedipine treatment at 1000, 1200, and 1400 h than corresponding values on the control day. Nifedipine S100 calcium binding protein A6 Homo sapiens
3 The fall in the Aldo/PRA ratio during nifedipine treatment indicates that the previously reported in vitro inhibition of Aldo biosynthesis in adrenal cells is reproduced in vivo. Nifedipine S100 calcium binding protein A6 Homo sapiens
