Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insulin stimulation of the serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK-1) prolongs the half-life of the epithelial sodium channel, a protein which is essential for blood pressure regulation. The aim of this study was to investigate if variation in the SGK-1 gene is associated with increased blood pressure and strength of the insulin-blood pressure relationship. METHODS: A promoter C/T, an intron...
