摘要: OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether interindividual variation in parasympathetic (cholinergic) and sympathetic (adrenergic) regulation heart rate (as estimated by frequency components variability [HRV]) may be accounted for, part, genetic the choline transporter, a component acetylcholine neurotransmission. METHODS Resting HRV estimates high- (HF) low-frequency (LF) power LF/HF ratio were determined from electrocardiogram recordings collected continuously over 5 minutes 413 white individuals European ancestry (49% men; aged 30-54 years [mean, 44 years]). Subjects genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located 3' untranslated region transporter gene (CHT1). Frequencies alternate CHT1 alleles, labeled G T, 76% 24%. RESULTS Compared with GG homozygotes, participants having any T allele had greater HF (p <.02), lower LF ratios <.005). Relative men, women <.001) CONCLUSIONS These findings show that polymorphic is associated significantly indices related activity.
