Abstract excerpt
The insulin resistance found in diabetes is influenced by vascular tone and local blood flow. Endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) functions as a potent vasodilator to regulate vascular tone, and its production is regulated by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). In this study, we examined the genotype distribution and allele frequency of sEH gene G860A (Arg287Gln) polymorphism in Japanese subjects...
