Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, an inducible isoform of the major rate-limiting enzymes that regulate the production of prostaglandins is associated with injury, inflammation and proliferation. We sought to examine whether plasma COX-2 levels and its genetic variants is associated with salt sensitivity, BP changes and/or hypertension in humans. METHODS: Eighty participants (aged 18-65 years) were maintained...
