Trials of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in Caucasians support a role of the renin-angiotensin system in the pathogenesis of glomerulosclerosis. Yet, despite the high prevalence of nephropathy among African Americans, Blacks have been under-represented in studies in ACEIs. Data from our laboratory suggest that the renal effects of ACEI may differ in African Americans. African Americans are resistant to the anti-hypertensive effects of ACEI and, thus, may be resistant to the renoprotective effects as well. The ACE deletion allele, a variant associated with increased ACE activity and progression of renal diseases, is increased in frequency in African Americans, while the frequency of the Ang AT1 receptor C allele, a variant associated with antihypertensive responsiveness to ACEI is decreased. Moreover, African Americans exhibit decreased sensitivity to Ang I and increased sensitivity to bradykinin. Taken together, these data suggest the hypothesis that ACE activity is increased in African Americans, leading to decreased bradykinin levels ( and receptor sensitization) and increased tissue Ang II (and receptor desensitization).\n\nDESIGN NARRATIVE:\n\nThe study tests the hypothesis that ACE activity is increased in African Americans, leading to decreased bradykinin levels (and receptor sensitization) and increased tissue Ang II (and receptor desensitization). The effects of race, hypertension and ACE insertion/deletion genotype on ACE activity will be determined, as measured by the pressor and renal vasoconstrictor responses to Ang I and Ang II and the vasodilator response to bradykinin. Specific bradykinin and angiotensin receptor antagonists will be used to determine the relative contribution of increased bradykinin and decreased angiotensin II to the renal hemodynamic effects of ACEIs in African Americans and Caucasians.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '100 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'No eligibility criteria'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00005757', 'briefTitle': 'Racial Variation in ACE--Genetic and Physiologic Bases', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Vanderbilt University'}, 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '5115'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'R29HL056963', 'link': 'https://reporter.nih.gov/quickSearch/R29HL056963', 'type': 'NIH'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Nancy Brown', 'affiliation': 'Vanderbilt University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Vanderbilt University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)', 'class': 'NIH'}]}}}
