Guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) is the second messenger of nitric oxide and atrial natriuretic factor, and mediates local vasodilatation. These vasodilatory factors are important in blood pressure regulation and possibly in the etiology of hypertension. Urinary cGMP levels among normotensive young adults have not previously been studied.
