polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene and ace activity in type 2 diabetic patients

diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. it has recently been shown that an insertion (i)/deletion (d) polymorphism exists in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene that can affect the serum ace level. there are three genotypes: dd, di, and ii, with the ace level being highest in dd, intermediate in di, and lowest in ii. in the present investigation, 170 patients with type 2 diabete...

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...

Proteinuria and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism.

INTRODUCTION Although proteinuria is traditionally regarded as the result of glomerular damage, recent evidence suggests that proteinuria can directly cause renal damage through lysosomal injury, growth factor induced tubular fibrosis and transcriptase genes which trigger vasoactive and inflammatory renal damage. The renin angiotensin system which releases angiotensin, a most powerful vasoconst...

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...
