Abstract excerpt
Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have impaired endothelial function in part due to an increase in vascular oxidant stress. p22phox, an essential component of the NADPH oxidase, is thought to play a critical role in the generation of superoxide anions in the vessel wall. The C242T polym...
