The type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1) genes are obvious hypertension candidate genes, whereas the SA gene has recently been shown to cosegregate with hypertension in the rat.
Enhanced expression of angiotensin II receptor subtypes and angiotensin converting enzyme in medroxyprogesterone-induced mouse mammary adenocarcinomas.
Enhanced expression of angiotensin II receptor subtypes and angiotensin converting enzyme in medroxyprogesterone-induced mouse mammary adenocarcinomas.
Enhanced expression of angiotensin II receptor subtypes and angiotensin converting enzyme in medroxyprogesterone-induced mouse mammary adenocarcinomas.
We have now investigated the role of a common polymorphism of the AT1 receptor gene (an A-->C transversion at position 1166 of AGT1R) and looked for an interaction between ACE and AGT1R gene polymorphisms on the risk of myocardial infarction.
In patients with primary aldosteronism and renovascular hypertension the plasma aldosterone level was shown to be an important factor upregulating AT1 receptor mRNA.
