Abstract excerpt
An increasing body of evidence suggests that different genetic factors, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D, angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and ENOS G894T variants are associated with an endothelial dysfunction (ED). EDs are relatively new phenomena that are presumed to contribute to vasoregulatory malfunctions at the small-vessel level....
