Why the study?
Does aging affect the plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) response to cardiac volume loading in normotensive humans?
Population
15 normotensive humans, divided into young (n=8) and older (n=7) groups.

Enhanced ANF response to volume load in older normotensives warrants age-adjusted interpretation; confirms potentiation by aging in RCT.
Does aging affect the plasma atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) response to cardiac volume loading in normotensive humans?
The plasma atrial natriuretic factor response to cardiac volume loading is significantly potentiated by aging in normotensive humans.
