Slowing growth and histology changes in Lewis lung carcinoma implanted in a partly denervated muscle.

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of partial muscle denervation on a tumor inocculated on the same muscle. Experiments were performed on male C57BL mice divided into two numerically equal A and B groups, each of which was subdivided into three subgroups AA, AB, Ac and BA, BB, BC, respectively. The right sciatic nerve of each mice of the A group was incised and partly dissected (day 0).

Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide in essential hypertension after treatment with irbesartan.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the medium-term effects of the selective AT1-blocker irbesartan on atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels in patients with moderate essential hypertension. The drug was given orally in a daily dose of 300 mg for 30 days. Plasma ANP levels increased by 15.
