Table 5. Effect of spironolactone dosage (combined 2 mg/kg/day and 4 mg/kg/day) in 10 healthy purpose-bred Beagle dogs using a cross-over study design on RAS-Fingerprint analytes at each sampling period at 12:00 (T2) 5-hours after oral dosing of spironolactone.

The sampling periods include two baseline sampling periods at Day 0 (D0) and Day 21 (D21) as well as following two seven-day treatment periods at Day 7 (D7) and Day 28 (D28). Data are presented as median (IQR) in pM/L for AngI, AngII, aldosterone, Ang1-7, Ang1-5, AngIII, AngIV, and PRA-S and as a ratio for ACE-S, AA2, and ALT-S. P value compares overall treatment to baseline at each specific timepoint (D0 vs. D7 and D21 vs. D28).
