Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO) from the endothelium, produced by oxidation of l-arginine to L-citruline for the action at the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), is considered an important atheroprotective factor. The Glu298Asp (G894T) polymorphic variant of the eNOS gene has been implicated...
