Plasma Nitric Oxide Concentrations and Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Polymorphisms in Coronary Artery Disease
1 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasma NOx (nitrate and nitrite) is a stable end product of the vasodilator NO. Several polymorphisms in the endothelial constitutive NO synthase (ecNOS) gene have been reported, including the 4a/4b VNTR polymorphism in intron 4, the E298D mutation in exon 7, and the G10-T polymorphism in intron 23. The aims of this study were to examine plasma NOx in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and to...
