Prevalence of genetic polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (insertion/deletion) in Sétif population, Algeria
The aim of the present study was to assess the frequencies of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE; OMIM: 106180) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; OMIM: 607093) polymorphisms in the Algerian population to further facilitate investigations on possible associations with various pathologies. The study was carried out on 146 apparently healthy individuals (65 males, 81 females) who w...
متن کاملThe angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism and ACE levels in Pima Indians.
An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with plasma ACE levels in white populations. The occurrence of the I/D polymorphism and relationship to ACE levels was examined in a Pima Indian group (n = 305). The frequency of the D allele was lower in Pimas than whites (0.29 v 0.52 respectively). ACE levels were significantly associated wi...
متن کاملAngiotensin-Converting Enzyme II in the Heart and the Kidney Signaling by the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme ACE Polymorphisms Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Vascular Remodeling
Vascular remodeling is the result of a close interplay of changes in vascular tone and structure. In this review, the role of angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) and the impact of ACE inhibition on vascular remodeling processes during vascular injury and restenosis, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and aneurysm formation are discussed. The role of ACE and angiotensin II (Ang II) in neointimal th...
متن کامل3 Properties of Angiotensin I - Converting Enzyme ( ACE ) Tetsuo
The life-style diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension, and cardiovascular disease have been increasing in Japan recently. The mortality rate due to heart disease or vascular disease has been 2nd and 3rd of total death toll. The hypertension is a most important disease because it may induce cerebral apoplexy and cardiovascular disease. Recently, new aspects of food functions have b...
متن کاملAngiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme (ACE)-Inhibitory Peptides from Plants
Hypertension is an important factor in cardiovascular diseases. Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors like synthetic drugs are widely used to control hypertension. ACE-inhibitory peptides from food origins could be a good alternative to synthetic drugs. A number of plant-based peptides have been investigated for their potential ACE inhibitor activities by using in vitro and in vivo a...
