Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities of glucocorticoid metabolism and the renin—angiotensin system: a four-corners approach to the identification of genetic determinants of blood pressure
Graham Watt,Stephen B. Harrap,C. J. W. Foy,D. W. Holton,H. V. Edwards,H. R. Davidson,J. M. Connor,Anthony F. Lever,Robert Fraser +8 more
TL;DR: The combined biochemical and genetic findings suggest that abnormalities of glucocorticoid metabolism and the renin-angiotensin system may help to explain genetic predisposition to high blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The angiotensin I converting enzyme gene and predisposition to high blood pressure.
Stephen B. Harrap,H. R. Davidson,J. M. Connor,F. Soubrier,P. Corvol,Robert Fraser,C. J. W. Foy,G. C. M. Watt +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that in a group of Caucasians selected from the general population, the ACE gene is not associated with genetic predisposition to high blood pressure, and common ACE gene allelic markers would not be useful indexes of susceptibility to hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Angiotensin II, Predisposition to Hypertension, and Left Ventricular Size in Healthy Young Adults
Stephen B. Harrap,Anna F. Dominiczak,Robert Fraser,Anthony F. Lever,James J. Morton,C. J. W. Foy,Graham Watt +6 more
TL;DR: Findings provide evidence in humans that angiotensin II exerts a direct on myocardial size and may have important implications for the complications and treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glomerular hyperfiltration, high renin, and low- extracellular volume in high blood pressure.
Stephen B. Harrap,A. D. Cumming,David L. Davies,C. J. W. Foy,R Fraser,A. Kamitani,J. M. Connor,Anthony F. Lever,Graham Watt +8 more
TL;DR: In this population, extracellular volume depletion and high renin are correlates of high blood pressure in early adulthood, and glomerular hyperfiltration is a feature of those who also have familial predisposition to highBlood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal Epinephrine Release in Young Adults With High Personal and High Parental Blood Pressures
Stephen B. Harrap,Robert Fraser,G. C. Inglis,Anthony F. Lever,Graham H. Beastall,Marek H. Dominiczak,C. J. W. Foy,Graham Watt +7 more
TL;DR: Irrespective of family history, high BP is associated with increased body weight and hyperinsulinemia and reflects personal environment and behavior and abnormal epinephrine release is characteristic of the combination of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors associated with high personal BP and a familial predisposition to high BP.
