Abstract excerpt
Small gene effects influence complex phenotypes in a context dependent manner. Here we evaluated whether increasing dosage of the angiotensin I converting enzyme (Ace) gene influence exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Mice harboring one, two, three, and four copies of the Ace gene were assigned to sedentary (S1-4) and swimming exercise-trained (T1-4) groups (1.5 h twice daily, 5 days/wk, 4 wk). Exercising...
