712BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL 29 mARicH 1975 in reducing blood pressure. The latter warrants further study in hypertensive patients.Tolamolol is a potent anti-anginal agent, preferable to practolol, and as effective as propranolol, but unlike propranolol it has the advantage of being cardioselective. journal, 1975, 1, 712-714 Summary The influence of posture and age on urinary protein excretion was studied in 120 normal men volunteers. The supine excretion rate was less than 140 Fg/min in all but two people (median value 38 ,ug/min) and tended to increase with age. The excretion rate decreased on quiet standing in 80% of people, which corresponded to a fall in creatinine clearance. In the remaining 20% protein excretion increased on standing but generally remained within normal limits and was dissociated from changes in creatinine clearance. This increase was more prevalent in younger people and may represent a phenomenon analogous to orthostatic proteinuria, differing only quantitatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
