RESUMO
The secretion rates [34 ± 6 (SE) μg per day, 9 subjects] and metabolic clearance rates (MCR) [1,288 ± 120 (SE) L of plasma per day, 9 subjects] of aldosterone in elderly subjects are significantly lower than those of young subjects [77 ± 7 (SE) μg per day and 1,631 ± 106 (SE) L per day, respectively]. There is a correlation of the MCR and secretion rate values (p = 0.02), but the calculated plasma concentrations (secretion rate/MCR) are also significantly low in the elderly subjects [2.6 ± 0.3 (SE) compared with concentrations in the plasma from young subjects of 4.7 ± 0.6 (SE) μg per 100 ml plasma].
