Association of polymorphisms within the Renin-Angiotensin System with metabolic syndrome in a cohort of Chilean subjects
Arch. endocrinol. metab. (Online); 60 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. Thus, genetic variants related with these conditions may modulate its development. We evaluated the effect of polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) on metabolic syndrome risk in a cohort...
