Association between Plasma Urotensin II and Risk of Hypertension: Findings from a Prospective Study
Up to date, human urotensin II (UII) is the most potent vasoconstrictor in mammalian animals. To explore whether UII played an important role in the development of hypertension, we conducted a prospective study in Changshu city, China.
