Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Endothelin-1 (ET-1), the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor, generated by enzymatic cleavage catalyzed by an endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE), plays a significant role in the regulation of hypertension. Methods: This study investigates the effect of endothelin-1 (Lys198Asn/rs5370) and ECE (rs212526 C/T) gene polymorphisms with essential hypertension (EH) among Malay ethnics. To determine the...
