Objective To detect and genotype the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in coding and promoter regions of human glucagon gene in Han Chinese residing in Shanghai and to analyse its association with essential hypertension (EH). Methods The identification of SNPs was performed by both direct DNA sequencing and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). For genotyping of SNPs direct sequencing was performed in 96 patients with EH and 96 normotensive controls (NT). Results Two SNPs in glucagon gene, one in the coding region (C3689T) and the other in the joint region, (G5505A) were found. A higher frequency SNP, C3689T, was genotyped and no significant difference in C3689T genotype frequency was found between EH and NT. Conclusion There is an important ethnic difference in SNP distribution of human glucagon gene. The distribution of C3689T genotype in Han Chinese is not different between EH and NT.

Objective To study the effects of dibutyl phthalate(DBP) on estradiol biosynthesis and the related mechanism in puberty female rats.Methods Thirty-two female SD rats aged 21 days were randomly divided into the control group(corn oil) and low-dose(250 mg/kg),moderate-dose(500 mg/kg),and high-dose(1 000 mg/kg) DBP exposed groups,the rats were treated with DBP through gavage with a dose of 5 ml/kg,once a day for 8 consecutive weeks.After 8 weeks of exposure,the animals were sacrificed at proestrus.Radioimmunoassay was used to detect estradiol in the serum,the expression of aromatase mRNA levels was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group,the body weight of rats in the moderate-dose group was significantly higher(P
