Angiotensinogen-M235T genotype and post-transplant hypertension.
BACKGROUND The angiotensinogen gene has been linked to the development of essential hypertension, and a M235T variant of this gene, associated with increased plasma levels of angiotensinogen, is more common in hypertensives than in normotensive controls in various populations. The present study was conducted to examine whether the M235T variant of the angiotensinogen gene may be a risk factor f...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of the association of 4 angiotensinogen polymorphisms with essential hypertension: a role beyond M235T?
Angiotensinogen (AGT) gene polymorphisms have been linked to increased risk of hypertension, but the data remain controversial. In this study we review the most commonly investigated polymorphisms at the AGT locus (other than M235T) and provide summary estimates regarding their association with essential hypertension, while addressing heterogeneity, as well as publication biases. Data on 26 818...
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 genotype, sodium reduction, weight loss, and prevention of hypertension: trials of hypertension prevention, phase II.
The angiotensinogen gene has been linked to essential hypertension and increased blood pressure. A functional variant believed to be responsible for hypertension susceptibility occurs at position -6 in the promoter region of the gene in which an A for G base pair substitution is associated with higher angiotensinogen levels. To test whether an allele within the angiotensinogen gene is related t...
متن کاملSpectrum of hypertension in post transplant.
AIM Elucidate the incidence and causes of post transplant hypertension in our transplant population. METHODS All patients transplanted between June 1989 Dec 2002 who had a functioning graft of 6 months post transplant were studied. Hypertension was defined as Systolic BP > or = 140 mmHg/Diastolic BP > or = 90 mmHg/usage of antihypertensive medication. Donor and recepient characteristics were ...
