Relationship between bone mineral density and angiotensin converting enzyme polymorphism in hypertensive postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between bone mineral density and insertion/deletion (I/D) angiotensin converting enzyme polymorphism (ACE) in hypertensive postmenopausal women. METHODS Blood and urine samples from the study subjects were analyzed for calcium metabolism related parameters. Densitometry studies were conducted in the lumbar spine (L2 to L4). T...
متن کاملRelationship between angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism and retinal vein occlusion
To evaluate the association between angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) gene polymorphism and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). A total of 80 patients with retinal vein occlusion who was admitted to the Eye Department of Kartal Training and Research Hospital between 2008 and 2011, and 80 subjects were enrolled in this retrospective case-control study. Patients who experienc...
متن کاملRelationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion or deletion polymorphism and insulin sensitivity in healthy newborns.
CONTEXT It was proposed that the association between low birth weight and adult insulin resistance is principally genetically mediated. The insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene was associated with insulin sensitivity in adults. OBJECTIVE Our goal was to investigate the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism ...
متن کاملAngiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) is a Zinc metalloproteinase, converts Ang-I to Ang- II, a pro-inflammatory agent which may contribute to pathophysiology of some diseases like type 2 diabetes. Objective: To investigate the relationship between ACE I/D polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in 261 Iranian casecontrol pairs. Methods: 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy a...
متن کاملInteraction Between Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Gene Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition on Survival in Hemodialyzed Patients
The association between ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and mortality has been inconsistently observed in earlier studies in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. We hypothesized that the effect of ACE gene I/D polymorphism on mortality may be influenced by concurrent ACE inhibitor therapy in this population. In this prospective, multicenter cohort...
