[Characteristics of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in Carriers of Polymorphic Variants of the VDR Gene With Arterial Hypertension and Obesity].

Aim: to study the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) in patients with polymorphic variants of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR), arterial hypertension (AH) and obesity.

[The cell immunity in patients with arterial hypertension and obesity].

In the present study the relative quantity subpopulations of lymphocytes, activated T- lymphocytes and CD95-antigen (Fas/APO-1) expression on lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with arterial hypertension and obesity in comparison with the healthy persons was determined. The cells were analyzed by the method of flow cytometry using Beckman Coulter FC 500 cytometer. The following of cells subsets: CD19+, CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD3-CD16+CD56+, CD3+CD16+CD56+, CD3+CD25+, CD3+HLA-DR+, CD45+CD95+ were investigated.
