Abstract excerpt
We investigated the role of the beta-3-adrenergic receptor polymorphism in membrane lipid composition and erythrocyte membrane sodium transport in essential hypertensive patients. We studied 87 essential hypertensive patients determining: The Trp64Arg mutation of the beta-3-adrenergic receptor by PCR, lipoprotein profile by standard laboratory methods, membrane lipid composition by IATROSCAN and erythrocyte...
