Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 gene polymorphisms have been implicated in regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and salt sensitivity in hypertensive patients. We tested the relevance of CYP2C9 genotypes for regulation of plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma aldosterone concentrations and blood pressure (BP) in response to changes in salt intake in normotensive individuals. METHODS:...
