Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 is expressed in vascular endothelium and metabolizes arachidonic acid to biologically active epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which play a centralrole in regulating renal tubular fluid-electrolyte transport and vascular tone. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the genetic polymorphism and hypertension risk in a Chinese Han population. METHODS:...
