Abstract
Summary
Excretion of the 3-oxo-conjugate of aldosterone by three of the ten normal adolescent boys studied was found to be substantially greater than that of normal adults. No correlation was observed between the values for urinary aldosterone and urinary sodium, nor between urinary aldosterone and urinary potassium for the group. A barely significant correlation was found between the values for urinary aldosterone and urinary potassium-sodium ratios.
