Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide which has vasodilatory, antithrombotic, antiinflammatory and antiproliferative properties. The TT genotype of the single nucleotide polymorphism 894 G/T, located in exon 7 of the eNOS gene, was found to be associated with coronary spasm, coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). We investigated the...
