Enzyme involved in blood pressure regulation
Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, affecting blood pressure
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GG (Normal) | Low impact | Lower ACE activity - favourable blood pressure and a strong endurance response. Keep sodium moderate and stay active. |
| GA (Carrier) | Low impact | Intermediate ACE activity - average blood pressure and exercise response. Keep salt moderate (<5 g/day), eat potassium-rich foods (vegetables, banana, avocado) and stay active. |
| AA (Variant) | Moderate | Higher ACE activity - more salt sensitivity and a higher blood-pressure tendency; favours power over endurance. Limit added salt, boost potassium and magnesium, and prioritise regular cardio. |
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| II (Normal) | Normal | II genotype lower ACE endurance advantage salt sensitive |
| ID (Carrier) | Low impact | ID intermediate ACE levels |
| DD (Variant) | Moderate | DD higher ACE power advantage higher BP risk |
