Document Detail


Blood pressure cosegregates with a microsatellite of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) in F2 generation from a cross between original normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP).

Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We investigated the linkage between high blood pressure and the ACE gene in the F2 generation between SHRSP/Izm and WKY/Izm. The male F2 rats were categorized into 3 genotypes according to a microsatellite polymorphism in the ACE gene. Significantly high blood pressure was observed in the SHRSP homozygotes when it was compared to the blood pressure of the heterozygotes. Further, after 2 or 3 months salt-loading, the blood pressure was significantly higher in the SHRSP homozygotes than in the heterozygotes and the WKY homozygotes. The heterozygotes had a blood pressure similar to that in the WKY homozygotes, indicating that the effect of the ACE gene genotype was recessive. Salt appetite was neither correlated with the salt-sensitivity nor cosegregated with the ACE genotype. The results indicate that the locus of ACE gene associates with the development of hypertension, especially salt-sensitive hypertension.
