Changes in weight, extracellular water, brachial office systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma aldosterone and plasma potassium after two weeks of liquorice ingestion.

All values are mean ± SD.*Blood samples for fasting plasma values were not obtained from one subject.†P = 0.02 and ‡P#Two normotensive and normokalemic subjects showed divergent serum aldosterone concentrations (6138 and 3720 pmol/l). If these subjects were excluded from the analysis, mean serum aldosterone concentration in the normal diet group was 548±340 pmol/l (p = 0.78 between groups).
