Background—There is controversy regarding the association of the angiotensin-converting
enzyme deletion-insertion (ACE D/I) polymorphism with systemic hypertension and with …

Background—The Framingham Study recently revealed that the homozygous deletion
polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE DD) is associated with …

The objective of the present study was to assess whether the influences of gender, age, or
measures of body size on blood pressure are homogeneous among genotypes of the …

Background The presence of the deletion allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
I/D polymorphism is associated with an excess risk of vascular disease and diabetic …

Background—Previous studies have reported that blood pressure response to
antihypertensive medications is influenced by genetic variation in the renin-angiotensin …

In white populations, a deletion polymorphism in the gene for angiotensin converting
enzyme (ACE) appears to be associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction but not …

Recent intriguing findings from genetic linkage, knockout, and physiologic studies in mice
and rats led us to conduct the first investigation of the novel angiotensin-converting enzyme …

Background—The renin-angiotensin system regulates blood pressure through its effects on
vascular tone, renal hemodynamics, and renal sodium and fluid balance. Methods and …

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) is responsible for production of angiotensin II and
breakdown of kinins, leading to increased blood pressure (BP). Furthermore, ACE inhibitors …

The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is an integral part of two enzymatic cascades,
one leading to the generation of angiotensin II and the other to the degradation of …
