Abstract excerpt
The oxidative stress caused by nitric oxide (NO) in the brain has been proposed as a pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer's disease. Endothelial NO synthase (ecNOS) produces the majority of circulating NO. The biological functional and genetic association studies suggested that the Glu298Asp polymorphism of the ecNOS gene (NOS3) may be a genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). To investigate...
