Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both positive and negative associations between a rare allele of 27-bp repeat polymorphism (eNOS4b/a polymorphism) in intron 4 of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and plasma nitric oxide (NO) concentrations were previously reported. Although these conflicting results were suggested to be partly accounted for smoking status of subjects, no further studies have been accomplished. METHODS: We analyzed...
