Abstract excerpt
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) metabolizes epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and represents a novel therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease treatment. We investigated the relationship among sequence variation in the sEH gene (Ephx2), sEH function, and risk of end-organ injury in strains of spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRs) differing in their susceptibility to develop brain vascular disease. Brain Ephx2...
