Abstract excerpt
The association between endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene polymorphism and vascular endothelial function has not been clarified. We investigated the impact of ecNOS gene polymorphism on endothelial function in 95 patients with Type 2 diabetes (ecNOS genotype: 4b/b, n = 62; 4b/a, n = 30; 4a/a, n = 3). Flow-mediated (endothelium dependent, FMD) and nitroglycerin-induced (endothelium...
