The angiotensin II receptor type 2 polymorphism influences haemodynamic function and circulating RAS mediators in normotensive humans
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The haemodynamic responses to angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blockade may be mediated in part by interactions between angiotensin II and the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R). An AT2R G1675A gene polymorphism has been described, but the functional effects of this polymorphism are unknown. METHODS: Haemodynamic function, circulating renin-angiotensin system mediators and norepinephrine were measured in young healthy subjects at baseline and at 2 and 4 weeks after treatment with irbesartan. Subjects were divided into two groups on the basis of the AT2R G1675A gene polymorphism: GG subjects (n = 12) and AA/GA subjects (n = 22). RESULTS: AA/AG subjects exhibited hypotensive and renal vasodilatory responses to irbesartan at 4 weeks, but GG subjects did not. In accord with haemodynamic effects, circulating aldosterone levels were suppressed in AA/AG, while circulating norepinephrine levels were augmented only in GG subjects. In contrast, increases in circulating renin, angiotensin II and plasma renin activity after irbesartan were exaggerated in AA/AG subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The AT2R G1675A polymorphism is a determinant of haemodynamic responses to AT1 receptor blockade, an effect that may be due to influences on aldosterone escape.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
