目的:探讨性别差异对不同血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)基因型高血压患者服用氢氯噻嗪后血清肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统(RAAS)活性变化的影响。方法:根据自愿原则,随机纳入829例轻、中度高血压患者。所有患者均停服原有的抗高血压药物,并经过2周的安慰剂清洗期,随后口服氢氯噻嗪12.5mg,qd,连续服药6周。分析不同性别、ACE基因型患者服用氢氯噻嗪后血清RAAS水平的变化及二者之间的交互作用。结果:共776例研究对象完成了研究并纳入分析。DD基因型男性患者服用氢氯噻嗪6周后血清ACE和血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)水平升高幅度均高于Ⅱ、ID基因型男性患者(P〈0.05);而在女性中,DD基因型患者血清ACE和AngⅡ水平升高幅度却明显低于Ⅱ、ID基因型女性患者(P〈0.05)。性别与ACE基因插入/缺失(I/D)多态性对服用氢氯噻嗪后血清ACE水平变化存在明显交互作用(尸=0.032),对血清AngⅡ水平变化存在临界交互作用(P=0.070)。结论:校正年龄、体重指数和基线血压水平后,性别与ACE基因I/D多态性对服用氢氯噻嗪后血清ACE水平变化存在明显交互作用。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effects of gender difference on renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) in response to bydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in hypertensive patients with different angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) genotypes. METHODS: We enrolled randomly 829 mild/moderate hypertensive patients. All subjects stop taking previous antihypertensive drugs. Af- ter 2 weeks of wash-out period with placebo, every subject had been orally given 12.5 mg HCTZ, once a day for next 6 weeks. The activity of RAAS was determined after treatment. The interaction between genotypes at ACE I/D polymorphism and gender was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 776 patients completed the study. In male, the increases of serum ACE and Ang Ⅱ activity in pa- tients with DD genotype after HCTZ were greater than those in patients with Ⅱ and ID genotypes (P〈0.05). However, in female, the increases of serum ACE and Ang Ⅱ activity in patients with DD genotype after HCTZ were lower than those in patients with II and ID genotypes (P〈0.05). There was statistically significant interaction of ACE gene I/D polymorphism and gender with changes of serum ACE activity (P=0.032), and the marginal interaction between the effects of them and changes of serum Ang Ⅱ activity (P=0.070). CONCLUSION: There was statistically significant interaction of ACE gene I/D polymorphism and gender with changes of serum ACE activity after adjusting age, BMI, and baseline blood pressure.
