TL;DR
An association between obesity and the 825T allele, a genetic marker for enhanced G protein reactivity, in hypertensive individuals is suggested, as determined by logistic regression analysis.
Abstract
The findings suggest an association between obesity and the 825T allele, a genetic marker for enhanced G protein reactivity, in hypertensive individuals.

732 Citations1998Winfried Siffert, Dieter Rosskopf +9 more
A novel polymorphism (C825T) in exon 10 of the gene encoding the p3 subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins (GNB3) is detected, which suggests a significant association of the T allele with essential hypertension.
The LancetPolymorphisms of α-adducin and salt sensitivity in patients with essential hypertension
526 Citations1997Daniele Cusi, Cristina Barlassina +13 more
The findings of significant linkage of the alpha-adducin locus to essential hypertension and greater sensitivity to changes in sodium balance among patients with the mutant allele suggest that alpha- adducin is associated with a salt-sensitive form of essential hypertension.
NatureInsulin action impaired by deficiency of the G-protein subunit Giα2
216 Citations1996Christopher M. Moxham, Craig C. Malbon
G ialpha2 deficiency creates a model for insulin resistance characteristic of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), implicating G ialphal2 as a positive regulator of insulin action.
HypertensionAssociation Between a Polymorphism in the G Protein β3 Subunit Gene and Lower Renin and Elevated Diastolic Blood Pressure Levels
193 Citations1998Heribert Schunkert, Hans‐Werner Hense +3 more
A molecular mechanism that unifies a higher diastolic blood pressure, a lower renin level, and an elevated aldosterone to renin ratio is suggested, ie, a combination of features frequently found in patients with arterial hypertension.

180 Citations1995Winfried Siffert, Dieter Rosskopf +7 more
This study suggests that enhanced signal transduction and cell proliferation are abnormalities in a certain group of patients with essential hypertension but explains these findings as a result of an enhanced G protein activation in this common disorder.

A role for a genetically determined, physiologically active splice variant of the G protein beta3 subunit gene in the causation of essential hypertension is supported.

The loss of G alpha i2 expression in adipose tissue of the transgenic mice was correlated with a rise in basal levels of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate and the loss of receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylylcyclase.

These human cell lines represent a novel model to study the mutual interaction between sodium-proton exchange and cell proliferation, and may provide insights into the alterations in ion transport observed in a group of patients with essential hypertension.
HypertensionSodium-Proton Exchange and Primary Hypertension
120 Citations1995Winfried Siffert, Rainer Düsing
It is speculated that enhanced sodium-proton exchanger activity and proliferation may represent indicators of a genetically fixed enhanced intracellular signal transduction in primary hypertension that may be caused by an increased activation of pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins.

Using a battery of strategies, the exon/intron boundaries, splice variants, and tissue expression patterns of the genes were determined and six genes, including CD4, triosephosphate isomerase, B3 subunit of G proteins, and ubiquitin isopeptidase T (ISOT), with known functions, and two new genes with unknown functions were identified.

93 Citations1998Norihiro Kato, Takao Sugiyama +4 more
The data suggest that the T825 variant of the G protein beta3 subunit gene is unlikely to constitute major susceptibility for essential hypertension in the Japanese population studied, however, further investigation is required to answer the question of whether the lack of association reflects ethnic differences in the nature of genetic susceptibility loci.

70 Citations1998Robert A. Hegele, Stewart B. Harris +3 more
An association of variation in this gene with variation in blood pressure is supported and G protein heterotrimers containing the shorter variant are more reactive than those containing the wild type, and the 825T allele appears to be associated with essential hypertension.

Exchanger abundance was identical in all three groups of subjects, indicating that increased activity in the hypertensive group was due to an elevated turnover number of the exchanger, and identical changes in Na(+)-H+ exchanger function and phosphorylation have been demonstrated in vascular smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Enhanced Na+-H+ exchange activity in hypertensives is primarily characterized by an increase in Vmax, which is refractory to antihypertensive treatment and therefore appears to be a relatively fixed parameter.

The increased Na + — H + exchanger activity observed in obese subjects may be postulated to be related to the hypermineralocorticoidism characteristic of this condition.
