Abstract excerpt
The maintenance of balance between nitric oxide (NO) and the superoxide anion is required for proper functioning of the endothelium. To investigate the relationship between genetic factors associated with endothelial function and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene a/b polymorphism and NADH/NADPH oxidase p22 phox gene C242T polymorphism were examined in...
