Plasma and Urinary Levels of Nerve Growth Factor Are Elevated in Primary Hypertension

Figure 1

Relationships between the urinary nerve growth factor and urinary noradrenaline in the normotensives (▲, (a)) and the primary hypertensives (●, (b)). Pearson correlation coefficients (r), partial correlation coefficients (), and values are shown. The urinary nerve growth factor correlated positively with urinary noradrenaline in the primary hypertensives, but not in the normotensives.
