Serum Vitamin D Concentration ≥75 nmol/L Is Related to Decreased Cardiometabolic and Inflammatory Biomarkers, Metabolic Syndrome, and Diabetes; and Increased Cardiorespiratory Fitn... by Vijay Ganji (8710491)

Renin–angiotensin-system gene polymorphisms and depression by Saab, Yolande B.

“…None of the other common RAS-associated polymorphisms were significantly associated. The results support the hypothesis that increased RAS activity may increase relative risk of depression in that the angiotensin receptor type 1 (A1166C) CC genotype is associated with increased responsiveness to angiotensin II.…”
