Abstract excerpt
The plasma level of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) has been shown to be under genetic control. An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the ACE gene is associated with differences in the level of ACE in the plasma and inside T-lymphocytes. An ACE isoform is present in large amounts in spermat...
