Aging is an inevitable progressive decline in physiological organ function that increases the
chance of disease and death. The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in the …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been reported to be one of the candidate
genes for endurance performance. The ACE gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism …

Inflammation and immune system dysfunction contributes to the development of
cardiovascular and renal disease. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic …
