Abstract excerpt
Hypertension is associated with enhanced peripheral vascular resistance, which may be mediated by enhanced vasoconstriction. The impact of the recently detected G-protein beta3-subunit gene C825T polymorphism on the response to the major pressor mediators has been studied in vivo in the human microcirculation. We assessed the effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1), angiotensin II (AT), endothelin-antagonists (BQ-123 and...
