High normal blood pressure (BP) seems to be related to increased cardiovascular risk in healthy normotensive subjects, whereas hyperleptinemia enhances both sympathetic tone and arterial BP. The aim of our study was to determine the human soluble leptin receptor number in healthy normotensive subjects with high normal BP and to compare these findings to those of healthy normotensive individuals with normal BP levels.
