Abstract excerpt
Impaired platelet-derived nitric oxide (NO) contributes to acute coronary syndromes by enhancing platelet recruitment and thrombus formation. Polymorphic variants of the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene have been associated with cardiovascular diseases. To examine whether eNOS variants affect platelet-derived NO and platelet function, and to assess the effects of estradiol on platelet function, we studied...
