Abstract excerpt
The components of the renin-angiotensin system have been implicated in the development of primary hypertension in humans and genetically hypertensive rats. In humans a mutation in the angiotensinogen gene and elevated plasma angiotensinogen levels have been linked to primary hypertension. Although we had previously excluded a linkage of blood pressure to the angiotensinogen gene in the stroke-prone spontaneously...
