Is the CAG repeat of mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) associated with male infertility?
Under our conditions, our study does not confirm any relationship between the polymorphic CAG repeat in the POLG gene and male infertility.
The diet with 2 g salt/day for pts with HF increased the neurohormonal activation associated to HF progression. The BMI can influence the response to the neurohormonal activation in a low-sodium diet in pts with HF. Further studies to test salt restriction for longer periods are recommended.
