Washington: Scientists have discovered a natural hormone from human urine – a xanthurenic-acid derivative, which could safely flush sodium out of human body, and could be harnessed for developing effective treatments for high blood pressure or hypertension.

Frank Schroeder, an assistant scientist at Cornell and the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research (BTI), with other researchers developed a new technique to analyze complex mixtures of small molecules, and identified the hormone from human urine. With this discovery, more developments can be made to novel medications to control sodium levels and treat hypertension.
