Sex influences the effect of body mass index on the vascular response to angiotensin II in humans

Objective Sex influences the cardiorenal risk associated with body mass index (BMI). The role of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in adiposity‐mediated cardiorenal risk profiles in healthy, non‐obese men and women was investigated. Methods Systemic and renal hemodynamic responses to angioten...

Zusammenfassung:Objective Sex influences the cardiorenal risk associated with body mass index (BMI). The role of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system in adiposity‐mediated cardiorenal risk profiles in healthy, non‐obese men and women was investigated. Methods Systemic and renal hemodynamic responses to angiotensin‐II (AngII) as a function of BMI, waist and hip circumference, waist–hip ratio, as well as fat and lean mass were measured in 18 men and 25 women in high‐salt balance, stratified by BMI (
