Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Endothelium-derived nitric oxide plays a key role in the regulation of vascular tone. Recently, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphisms were reported to be associated with hypertension or coronary spasm. We investigated the association between the eNOS gene polymorphisms and hypertension in a large population-based sample of 4055 Japanese. DESIGN AND METHODS: We investigated two...
