Key result
Plasma angiotensinogen correlated with BMI (r=0.29, P<0.01) and leptin (r=0.40, P<0.001), and with blood pressure only in men with a family history of hypertension (r=0.33, P<0.05).
Cross-Sectional (n=91)
Circulating angiotensinogen levels are related to adipose mass in young, normotensive, nonobese men, suggesting a potential mechanism linking body weight and blood pressure.

Supports angiotensinogen-BP link in familial hypertension subgroup; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Schorr et al. (1998) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy normotensive men (n=91). Plasma angiotensinogen correlated with BMI (r=0.29, P<0.01) and leptin (r=0.40, P<0.001), and with blood pressure only in men with a family history of hypertension (r=0.33, P<0.05).
