Polymorphism of the soluble epoxide hydrolase is associated with coronary artery calcification in African-American subjects: The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Modulation of endogenous epoxide levels by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in the endothelium represents an important mechanism in the regulation of cardiovascular function. We examined the relationship between a common, functional polymorphism of the human sEH gene and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in young, largely asymptomatic African-American and non-Hispanic white subjects. METHODS AND...
