Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress, the imbalance between production and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is implicated in the process of cardiovascular aging. Membrane-associated NAD(P)H oxidase system is the most important source of ROS in vascular cells. p22(phox), a critical component of the NAD(P)H oxidase, has a polymorphic site on exon 4, associated with variable enzyme activity. The goal of this study...
