Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The endothelial nitric oxide synthase Glu298Asp polymorphism has been suggested to play a role in the development of hypertension, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. OBJECTIVE: To investigate functional differences between the various genotypes with respect to basal nitric oxide (NO) production, we estimated the response to endothelial NO synthase (ecNOS) inhibition by infusion of increasing...
