association of angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and indian army triathletes performance

Association of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme gene Polymorphism and Indian Army Triathletes Performance

PURPOSE It is well known that the effects of exercise training gives inter individual differences which might be due to genetic diversity. This study aims to explore the probable relation between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) alleles and physical fitness parameters in elite athletes. METHODS Twenty-nine national level Indian Army Triathletes who volunteered for the study were taken as s...

association of angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) gene polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy

angiotensin i-converting enzyme (ace) gene polymorphism; genotype dd or d allele may be involved with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (dn). we examined the frequency of ace gene polymorphism in 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetes with nephropathy and 85 without it) in tehran, iran. dna was extracted from the white blood cells and the i/d polymorphism of the ...

Insertion/deletion polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A case-control study on north Indian population

This research aimed to explore the ACE (insertion/deletion) gene association as key factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development in north Indian population. A total of 200 clinically diagnosed patients with COPD were selected against 200 healthy individuals. Genetic variations of ACE (insertion/deletion) were evaluated by using polymerase chain reaction ...

Angiotensin 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...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Genetic Polymorphism

Indeed, the sample size limitation is a universal bias in all of the genetic polymorphisms in heart failure and the ACE-genotype was no different. The metanalysis by Bai et al.1. with 17 different studies included 2.453 cases (i.e. heart failure patients) from all over the world with only 60.3% being white individuals. The author concluded that there was no association between ACE DD genotype a...
