  • Is the ACE I/D polymorphism associated with extreme longevity? A study on a Spanish cohort
  • 2011
  • In: Journal of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system : JRAAS. - : Hindawi Limited. - 1752-8976 .- 1470-3203. ; 12:3, s. 202-207
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The 287 bp Ins(I)/Del(D) polymorphism [rs1799752] in intron 16 of the angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE) gene has been associated with extreme longevity (≥ 100 years) in some Caucasian and Asian cohorts, but this finding was not corroborated in other reports. We compared the allelic/genotypic frequency of the ACE I/D polymorphism among centenarians ( N = 64, 100—108 years, 89.1% female) and nonagenarians ( N = 47, 90—97 years, 76.6% female), and a control group of healthy young adults ( n = 434, age 20—40 years, 50% female). All participants were of the same Caucasian (Spanish) descent. The ACE I/D genotype met Hardy—Weinberg expectations in all the cohorts. Allelic and genotypic frequencies did not differ by sex in any of the study groups (all p > 0.2). There were no differences in allelic or genotypic frequencies between groups, for example the frequency of the D allele was 62.3% in controls vs. 65.3% in the elderly (64.8% in centenarians). In summary, the ACE I/D polymorphism is not significantly associated with extreme longevity in the Spanish population. Further research is, however, necessary using other approaches. It also remains to be determined if the interaction of ACE genotypes with some other genetic variants exerts a potential effect on longevity.

  • Warmer climates boost cyanobacterial dominance in shallow lakes
  • 2012
  • In: Global Change Biology. - : Wiley. - 1354-1013. ; 18:1, s. 118-126
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Dominance by cyanobacteria hampers human use of lakes and reservoirs worldwide. Previous studies indicate that excessive nutrient loading and warmer conditions promote dominance by cyanobacteria, but evidence from global scale field data has so far been scarce. Our analysis, based on a study of 143 lakes along a latitudinal transect ranging from subarctic Europe to southern South America, shows that although warmer climates do not result in higher overall phytoplankton biomass, the percentage of the total phytoplankton biovolume attributable to cyanobacteria increases steeply with temperature. Our results also reveal that the percent cyanobacteria is greater in lakes with high rates of light absorption. This points to a positive feedback because restriction of light availability is often a consequence of high phytoplankton biovolume, which in turn may be driven by nutrient loading. Our results indicate a synergistic effect of nutrients and climate. The implications are that in a future warmer climate, nutrient concentrations may have to be reduced substantially from present values in many lakes if cyanobacterial dominance is to be controlled.
