Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensinogen (AGT) genes have been reported to be associated with myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease, both of which are closely related to atherosclerosis and insulin resistance. In this study, we investigated the associat...
