Abstract excerpt
Studies analyzing the biochemical and hemodynamic consequences of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin I converting enzyme gene on angiotensin I and bradykinin metabolism have provided divergent results. Twelve DD and 12 II normotensive subjects were infused for 15 min with angiotensin I (30 ng kg(-1) x min(-1)) and with another angiotensin I converting enzyme substrate not related to the...
