Figure 6. — (A): Compared to HTN patients, baseline serum NO was significantly lower in hypertensive patients with PKD; (B): Compared to HTN patients, baseline serum ADMA was significantly higher in PKD patients; (C): Blood pressure was measured at baseline and 7 days after placebo or levodopa treatment. Levadopa is effective to improve mean arterial pressure in both HTN and PKD patients. *P < 0.05 between HTN and PKD groups (in A and B), or between different treatments and corresponding baseline groups (in C).
