Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene in the promoter (T-786C) and exon 7 (G894T) have been suggested to attenuate endothelial function. As it is unknown whether these polymorphisms, on top of classical risk factors, further deteriorate endothelium-dependent vasomotion, we aimed to elucidate the impact of both polymorphisms on the ex-vivo vasomotor function of left internal...
