Influence of the ACE Gene Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism on Insulin Sensitivity and Impaired Glucose Tolerance in Healthy Subjects
28 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recent studies suggested that the blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may be associated with metabolic benefits. However, data about the potential influence of the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) genotype on insulin resistance have been contradictory with studies of limited sample sizes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the ACE gene I/D polymorphism and both...
