Associations of microRNA Gene Polymorphisms With Salt Sensitivity, Longitudinal Blood Pressure Changes, and Hypertension Incidence in the Chinese Population.

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous RNA molecules that play an essential role in various disease processes including elevated blood pressure (BP). Although the effects of dietary salt and potassium intake on BP regulation have been established, their co-interaction with miRNAs are still unclear. The purpose of the current study was to explore the connection between miRNA gene polymorphisms and BP response to...
