Angiotensinogen gene M235T polymorphism and reduction in wall thickness in response to antihypertensive treatment.
The angiotensinogen M235T polymorphism has been linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is an early marker of atherosclerosis. The objectives of the present study were to determine in previously untreated essential hypertensive patients whether carotid IMT was associated with the M235T polymorphism, and to determine whether the M235T polymorphism ...
متن کاملAngiotensinogen M235T polymorphism associates with exercise hemodynamics in postmenopausal women.
We sought to determine whether the M235T angiotensinogen (AGT) polymorphism, either interacting with habitual physical activity (PA) levels or independently, was associated with cardiovascular (CV) hemodynamics during maximal and submaximal exercise. Sixty-one healthy postmenopausal women (16 sedentary, 21 physically active, and 24 endurance athletes) had heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), c...
متن کاملAngiotensinogen polymorphism M235T, carotid atherosclerosis, and small-vessel disease-related cerebral abnormalities.
The angiotensinogen M235T polymorphism has been linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We studied the role of this polymorphism as a risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis and small-vessel disease-related brain abnormalities. A total of 431 randomly selected community-dwelling subjects without clinical evidence for strokes underwent angiotensinogen genotyping and carotid Duplex sca...
متن کاملGender-specific association of M235T polymorphism in angiotensinogen gene and diabetic nephropathy in NIDDM.
This study examined the association between the development of nephropathy in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients and M235T polymorphism in the angiotensinogen gene. White NIDDM patients with diabetic nephropathy (case subjects, n = 117) and patients without any evidence of nephropathy and > or = 10 years of NIDDM (control subjects, n = 125) were selected from among patient...
متن کاملAngiotensinogen gene M235T polymorphism predicts left ventricular hypertrophy in endurance athletes.
OBJECTIVES We studied whether left ventricular mass in athletes associates with polymorphisms in genes encoding components of the renin-angiotensin system. BACKGROUND Adaptive left ventricular hypertrophy is a feature of the athlete's heart. However, similarly training athletes develop left ventricular mass to a different extent, suggesting that genetic factors may modulate heart size. METH...
