Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin (Ang) II is believed to be a potential pro-inflammatory factor. The capability of Ang II to stimulate C-reactive protein (CRP) production has recently been described. Genetic polymorphisms of renin angiotensin system (RAS) components have been described to be associated with the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study investigated the association between six different genetic...
