Plasmatic level of angiotensin I in normal subjects of various ages, in Cushing's syndrome and in normal and pathologic pregnancy. Using RIA for determining the plasmatic renin activity in orthostatism according to the method of Fyhrquist we obtained in the control group of adult subjects nonsignificant variations in relation with sex and age, and in the group with Cushing's syndrome associated with arterial hypertension nonsignificantly increased values as against the controls. In pathologic pregnancy (toxemic pregnancy with arterial hypertension and edemas), the plasmatic renin (PR) activity was significantly higher ( less than 0.001) than in the group with physiologic pregnancy.
