1. Plasma metabolic clearance rate of mono-[125I]iodoangiotensin II was measured in seventeen patients with various disorders of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The measurements were carried out by using a new method which accounts for the contribution of labelled split products. 2. A significant correlation was obtained (P < 0.01), when plasma metabolic clearance rate was related to mean blood pressure level and the correlation appeared independent of angiotensin II presumed concentration. 3. A possible additional control mechanism of angiotensin II degradation is suggested. RIASSUNTO 1. Gli autori hanno misurato la clearance metabolica della mono-[125I]iodoangiotensina II in 17 pazienti con varie alterazioni del sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterone. Il metodo impiegato permette la sottrazione diretta della radioattività plasmatica dovuta all'angiotensina, da quella dei frammenti marcati. 2. Si osserva una correlazione significativa (P < 0.01), quando i valori di clearance sono confrontati con quelli della pressione arteriosa media. 3. Viene supposto un ulteriore possibile sistema di controllo nella degradazione della angiotensina II.
