Abstract excerpt
The routine performance of high-altitude (HA) natives in the hypoxic environment of HA exemplifies the process of adaptation mainly through natural selection. The recent therapeutic application of nitric oxide (NO) in HA disorders, for the improvement of oxygenation and vasodilation, ushered us to investigate the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) with respect to HA adaptation. The study subjects, 131...
