Abstract excerpt
The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in blood pressure control and water/sodium metabolism. The genes encoding the proteins of this system are candidate genes for essential hypertension. The RAS involves four main molecules: angiotensinogen, renin, angiotensin I-converting enzyme, and the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (encoded by the genes AGT, REN, DCP1, and AGTR1, respectively). We performed a...
