Abstract

In patients with primary hypertension, intravenous administration of 150 mug Clonidin caused a decrease in arterial pressure, renin activity, RPF, GFR and electrolyte excretion. Activation of intracerebral adrenergic alpha-receptors and diminished sympathetic outflow seem to be responsible for the decrease of renin release.
