P Romagni, F Rossi, L Guerrini, C Quirini… - Atherosclerosis, 2003 - Elsevier
Very rapid nongenomic effects of aldosterone in vitro have been described in recent years
and in vivo evidence has been reported as well. In the present study, we investigated the
rapid effect of aldosterone on resistance arteries in vivo in man. We performed a
randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover study on ten healthy male
volunteers. Forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured using venous occlusion
plethysmography in both forearms. FBF was reduced by administration of aldosterone 2.5 …
