Abstract

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are the main phase II enzymes involved in the cellular detoxification. Through phase I and phase II detoxification reactions, the cell is able to detoxify endogenous and exogenous toxic compounds. In this study, we focused our attention on the GSTA1*-69C/T gene polymorphism (rs3957357) in order to explore its involvement in the genetic predisposition to gestational hypertension (GH). The case-control population consists of 195 subjects. The genotyping of the GSTA1*-69C/T was performed by using an RFLP-PCR technique. We calculated odds ratios (ORs), adjusted for the confounding variables, to estimate the association between GSTA1 and GH. Significant allelic differences in GSTA1*-69C/T are present between GH women and pregnant women without cardiovascular complications (p<0.05). Specifically, we observed that the dominant genetic model best explains the observed genetic association, according to the Akaike information criterion and the Bayesian information criterion. Our study highlighted a significant association between the GSTA1 gene and the risk of GH in Italian patients. In particular, the -69C/T variant was significantly associated with disease risk. Since previous studies indicated that th...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.
