| 1 | Salt sensitivity and resistance were studied in relation to a 287-bp insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene detected by a polymerase chain reaction method and the haptoglobin phenotype determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. | Salts | angiotensin I converting enzyme | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Patients with the angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene genotype II were more apt to be salt sensitive than patients with the ID and DD genotypes, although plasma renin activity was similar in each group. | Salts | angiotensin I converting enzyme | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | These data suggest that an I/D polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene is a genetic factor associated with salt sensitivity of blood pressure independently of plasma renin activity in Japanese patients with essential hypertension. | Salts | angiotensin I converting enzyme | Homo sapiens |
