Abstract excerpt
We reported from our previous multicentre case-control study that the deletion (D) polymorphism of the gene encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction. The main function of ACE is to convert angiotensin I into angiotensin II, which exerts its known cellular actions through the angiotensin II AT1 receptor subtype (AGT1R). We have now investigated the...
