Research has suggested an association between the angiotensen-I converting enzyme (aCE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and endurance performance, skeletal and cardiac muscle hypertrophy and performance in power associated sporting events. The nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) G894T polymorphism is associated with endurance training induced decreased submaximal diastolic blood pressure and nitric oxide is a direct modulator of ACE activity.
