Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) derived from endothelial cells is profoundly related to the maintenance of physiological vascular tone. Impairment of endothelial NO generation brought about by gene polymorphism is considered the major deterioration factor for progressive renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy. The present study aimed to elucidate the Glu298Asp polymorphism of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in patients...
