Further evidence of altered adrenocortical function in hypertension. Dehydroepiandrosterone excretion rate

Abstract

The excretion of dehydroepiandrosterone glucuronide and sulfate was studied in a group of patients with essential hypertension and a group of normal subjects by a new single-label isotopic-dilution procedure. A very marked decrease in excretion of the sulfate was found in the patients with essential hypertension.
