Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a wide range of processes, and abnormal NO production mediated diabetes complications, including diabetic nephropathy (DN). In view of their impact on eNOS activity, polymorphisms in eNOS gene were described as candidates for atherosclerosis and DN. AIMS: We evaluated the association of -786T>C (promoter region), Glu298Asp (Exon 7),...
