1. systolic blood pressure, 100 - 130 mm Hg;

2. diastolic blood pressure, 60 -90 mm Hg;

3. pulse rate, 60-80 bpm.

• Female subjects must be:

1. postmenopausal (defined as 12 months with no menses; age > 40 years and with a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level of >40 u/mL);

2. surgically sterilized at least 3 months prior to baseline (e.g., documented hysterectomy or tubal ligation).

• Men must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception (condom and spermicide) during the trial and for 3 months after stopping the medication.

Exclusion Criteria (the subject will be excluded from entry if any of the criteria listed below are met at baseline):
