Abstract
Glutamylcholine was administered in 158 cases of hypertension and the effect on the blood pressure, capillary resistance, capillary net-work of the skin, blood and urine picture, serum viscosity, fundus of the eye and electrocardiogram was examined. A favorable effect was noted. In an attempt to clarify the mechanism of action from the viewpoint of metabolism, studies were conducted on changes in the total protein, albumin, globulin, fat, chloride, sodium, potassium and choline esterase of the serum.
