Interaction of Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Insertion-Deletion Polymorphism and Daily Salt Intake Influences Hypertension in Japanese Men

Abstract: The contribution of angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion-deletion polymorphism (ACE I/D) to salt-sensitivity hypertension has been extensively studied by means of salt-loading tests, but whether or not the interaction with daily salt intake affects blood pressure still remains to be clarified. We therefore conducted

“…The level of sodium intake determined using the FFQ method has been shown to exhibit a good correlation with the level of urinary sodium in men (correlation coefficient=0.66) (29). Based on these previous observations, the FFQ can be considered an objective investigation method with both propriety and plasticity (15,30,31).…”

“…Details of the study population were described elsewhere. 13 Owing to the small number of women (n ¼ 37), they were excluded from the analysis. We also excluded those who are currently under treatment for hypertension (n ¼ 38), diabetes (n ¼ 8) and hyperlipidemia (n ¼ 8).…”

“…A polymorphism of ACE gene involves the insertion (I) and deletion (D) of 287 bp Alu repeat sequence near the 3' end of the intron. Physiologically it has been reported ACE I/D accounts for 50% of the inter-individual variability of plasma ACE concentration [12][13][14].…”
