Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Local cardiac renin-angiotensin systems may regulate left ventricular (LV) hypertrophic responses. The absence (deletion [D]) of a 287-bp marker in the ACE gene is associated with greater myocardial ACE levels and exercise-related LV growth than is its presence (insertion [I]), an effect potentially mediated through either increased activity of the cellular growth factor angiotensin II on the...
