Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) gene is one of the most-studied candidate genes related to essential hypertension (EH).

Previous evidence has indicated that obesity is a traditional risk factor of hypertension. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between the...
