title: Role of renin-angiotensin system in the formation of emotional state in humans.
abstract: We studied the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism on human emotional state in humans (189 athletes and 212 volunteers not engaged in sport activity). The distribution of angiotensin-converting enzyme genotypes was estimated. The dependence of aggression on age, sex, and professional activity was evaluated. This polymorphism was associated with physical aggression in female synchronized swimmers. Physical aggression in II genotype carriers was lower than in D allele carriers. Our results indicate that individual differences in aggression depend on professional activity and are genetically determined.
