The insertion (1) rather than deletion (D) variant of the human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with both lower tissue ACE activity and elite performance at high altitude. Three genotypes, 11, ID and DD, are thus represented in the population. The authors examined whether an improved ventilatory response to hypoxic exercise may contribute to this effect. Subjects (n=60; 37 male, mean+/-SEM age 23.6+/-0.6 yrs, 14 11, 30 ID, 16 DD) underwent incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing to establish maximal oxygen uptake and ventilatory threshold (VT). dour hours later, subjects exercised for 6 mins at 50% of the workload at NIT. The protocol was repeated 15 mins later while breathing 12.5+/-0.5%, oxygen in nitrogen. All subject characteristics were independent of genotype, as were data during normoxic exercise. However, the hypoxia-induced rise in minute ventilation was significantly greater among those of 11 genotype (39.6+/-4.1% versus 27.9+/-2.0%, versus 28.4+/-2.2% for 11 versus ID versus DD, respectively). These data are supported by a significantly greater decrease in end tidal carbon dioxide (consistent with an increase in alveolar ventilation) among those homozygous for the I allele (11 -18.7+/-1.3%, ID -15.7+/-0.4%, DD -15.1%+/-1.1). The ventilatory response to hypoxic exercise is influenced by angiotensin-converting enzyme genotype. Potential implications concern high altitude performance and the pathogenesis and management of hypoxic lung disease.
