Significance of plasma neurotensin and neuropeptide levels in patients with Hypertension

Zhang Cun-qi

Abstract

Objective:To study significance of plasma nurotensin(NT) and neuropeptide(NPY) levels in essential hypertension(EH).Methods:By means of radioimmunoassay studied the changes of plasma neurotensin and neuropeptide Y in 60 cases.Results:Plasma NT and NPY of EHⅢ(135 8±17 4,170 2±27 4 all in pg/ml) were significantly higher than that control.Conclusion:Measured content of NT and NPY in essential hypertension may be helpful to diagnose hypertension and evaluate prognosis.
