Abstract
Human plasma aldosterone can be rapidly, directly, and reliably measured by radioimmunoassay with use of a commercially available anti-aldosterone antibody. With this method, we show that values tend to decrease with advancing age, especially after the sixth decade.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
