Background-Reduced availability of nitric oxide (NO) is thought to contribute to the age-associated increase of renovascular tone and blood pressure. We assessed blood concentrations of the endogenous NO synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as well as renal hemodynamics, comparing young (n=24, 13 men, 25+/-1 years) and elderly (n=24, 13 men, 69+/-2 years) healthy subjects and elderly subjects with essential hypertension (n=24, 13 men, 70+/-2 years).Methods and Results-Plasma ADMA concentration and renovascular resistance (RVR) were significantly higher (P
