Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial dysfunction is now recognized as a common phenomenon in an array of cardiovascular disorders. Production of nitric oxide via the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase [eNOS (previously termed NOS3 or ecNOS)] is vital for a healthy endothelium; several polymorphic variations of the gene encoding eNOS (NOS3) are now known and have been investigated with respect to disease risk....
