Radioimmunoassays of plasma hormones were carried out, and correlation coefficients between the blood somatotrophin level and blood thyrotrophic hormone, thyroxine, renin, and aldosterone, as well as between blood somatotrophin and diastolic BP, cardiac index, total peripheral resistance, the tension and ejection time, cardiac cycle duration and electrocardiographic SV1 + RV5, were calculated in 95 patients with essential hypertension and symptomatic arterial hypertensions. Blood somatotrophin levels were shown to be basically increased in second- and third-stage essential hypertension and in chronic pyelonephritis with arterial hypertension. However, the hormone is not likely to be directly involved in the BP control.
