Abstract excerpt
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is a major superoxide scavenger and may be important to normal vascular function and cardiovascular health. We analyzed family data from 610 healthy Australians to detect and quantify the effects of genes on normal variation in plasma levels of EC-SOD and to test for pleiotropy with plasma nitric oxide (NO) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). Using maximum-likelihood-based...
