Studies on the angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and ACE inhibitors
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, an important step in the control of blood pressure. The gene encoding for ACE is subject to an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism which is associated with different levels of the enzyme in serum. This polymorphism accou...
