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 …

The responsiveness of plasma aldosterone to an angiotensin (Ang) II infusion was assessed
in normotensive young men, nine without and 13 with a family history of essential …

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 …

We sought to determine whether genes of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system can
predict the nonmodulating intermediate phenotype in essential hypertension. Aldosterone …

Objective Renin–angiotensin system gene polymorphisms are associated with essential
hypertension; angiotensinogen gene variants are considered potential genetic risk factors …

Objective An increased sensitivity to angiotensin II (Ang II) has been observed in patients
with established hypertension. In the current study we tested whether young normotensive …

We evaluated the association between salt-sensitive hypertension and 3 different genetic
polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system. Fifty patients with essential hypertension …

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays an important role in large artery structure
and blood pressure homeostasis. Among the genes coding for different components of this …

There is increasing evidence that a major site of production of angiotensin I and II is
peripheral tissue. Both angiotensin I and II are present in venous blood in amounts far too …

Background—Previous studies reported an association of the 1166 A/C polymorphism of the
angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 receptor gene with high blood pressure and cardiovascular …
