Effect of Quinapril, Quinapril-Hydrochlorothiazide, and Enalapril on the Bone Mass of Hypertensive Subjects: Relationship With Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Polymorphisms
ProducciĂłn CientĂficaBackground: Many alterations in extracellular metabolism
of calcium have been associated to hypertension, but
the number of studies relating this disease with osteoporosis
is extremely low. This study clarifies the therapeutic
effect of three treatments— quinapril, quinapril hydrochlorothiazide
(HCTZ), enalapril—on bone remodeling
markers, bone mineral density (BMD) in hypertensive
patients, and relationship with angiotensin converting enzyme
(ACE) polymorphism.2015-09-0
