Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) are potentially useful in controlling the central blood pressure and arterial stiffness in mild to moderate essential hypertension, while the effects of ARBs in aged patients with essential hypertension are not entirely investigated.
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker losartan is potentially useful in controlling the central blood pressure and arterial stiffness in mild to moderate essential hypertension, while the effects of losartan in aged patients with essential hypertension are not entirely investigated.
Among individuals with essential hypertension certain relationships were documented between rs5182 and rs5186 polymorphisms of AGTR1 gene and rs1799998 polymorphism of CYP11B2 gene on one hand and the volume of carotid bodies on one other.
The aim of the present study is to assess the association between angiotensin II receptor type 1 polymorphisms and essential hypertension risk in Chinese Hani and Yi minorities.
The AT1-AAs, AGTR1 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes solely or jointly have influences on candesartan-based antihypertensive response in patients with primary hypertension.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) gene A(1166)C variants with essential hypertension and some related parameters in a sample of Jordanian hypertensive patients.
To study the polymorphism of angiotensin-type 1 receptor (AT1R) gene A1166C in familial primary hypertension and its distribution in Han Yellow race of China.
Functional polymorphisms that predispose to increased basal GRK4 activity both decrease dopamine receptor activity and increase angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor activity and are associated with essential hypertension in a number of different human cohorts.
Individuals carrying the mutated TT of AGT, DD of ACE and CC of AT1R genotypes had an 1.67 (P = 0.032), 3.09 (P < 0.001) and 3.45 (P < 0.001)-fold increased risk of HTA.
The main aim of this study was to examine the association of A1166C polymorphism of angiotensin II type 1 receptor and telomere length with essential hypertension in Egyptian people.
Correlation between HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1 polymorphism and autoantibodies against angiotensin AT(1) receptors in Chinese patients with essential hypertension.
The aim of the study is to assess the association between the human AGTR1 gene and essential hypertension (EH) using a haplotype-based case-control study in Han Chinese subjects.
The AGTR1 1166C allele when present in homozygous form may be associated with a form of essential hypertension characterized by high plasma aldosterone and low plasma renin levels, possibly due to increased AGTR1 mRNA levels and augmented angiotensin II action.
The A1166C polymorphism of the AT1 receptor gene is not associated with reduction of blood pressure after treatment with ACEI in patients with essential hypertension.
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGT1R) gene 1166A > C polymorphism has been shown to be associated with essential hypertension and aortic stiffness as measured by carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV).
Although polymorphisms in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system genes for angiotensinogen (AGT M235T), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE I/D), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1 A/C1166), and aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2-344T/C) have been major targets for genetic investigation in association with essential hypertension (EH), the influence of these genetic factors is still to be determined.
Associations of the angiotensin II type 1 receptorA1166C and the endothelial NO synthase G894T gene polymorphisms with silent subcortical white matter lesions in essential hypertension.
