Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 (PAPP-A2) is the homolog of PAPP-A in the vertebrate genome and its role in protecting against salt-induced hypertension in salt-sensitive rats has been confirmed. We sought to examine the associations of plasma PAPP-A2 levels and its genetic variants with salt sensitivity, blood pressure (BP) changes and hypertension incidence in humans. METHODS: Eighty...
