The angiotensinogen gene is one of the very few related by linkage analysis to human
hypertension, but the linkage has been consistently shown only among males. Moreover …

The aldosterone response to infused angiotensin II (Ang II) in patients receiving a low-salt
diet has been described as an important phenotype for genetic studies on human …

Selective disturbance of noradrenergic but not angiotensin mediated blood pressure control
in normotensive members of hypertensive families. The cardiovascular pressor responses to …

Effects of gender and genotype on the phenotypic expression of nonmodulating essential
hypertension. Nonmodulation describes a subset of the normal/high renin essential …

Background Results from previous studies suggested that a blunted response of renal
plasma flow (RPF) to angiotensin II infusion during a high-sodium diet (a phenotype …

Molecular variants of angiotensinogen (AGT) have been associated with AGT level and
hypertension (HT). However, results from reported studies vary considerably between-and …

There is general consensus that genetic variation accounts in part for individual
susceptibilities to essential hypertension. In marked contrast to classic mendelian disorders …

A reduced sensitivity to the pressor effect of ex-ogenous angiotensin 1 has been observed in
dogs with increased levels of endogenous angiotensinlike activity (1). Patients with …

A decline in the function of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system may induce adaptive
changes in response to angiotensin II (ANG II) with age. We have examined platelet ANG II …

Objective Recently, we reported evidence for genetic linkage between human essential
hypertension and the angiotensinogen gene (AGT) and an association with a common …
