Association study of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms with essential hypertension in northern Han Chinese
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in both the regulation of endothelial function and the control of blood pressure. Up to now, there has been conflicting data regarding the association between three clinically relevant polymorphisms (T-786C, intron4b/a and G894T) of the eNOS gene and essential hypertension. METHODS: To examine the...
