Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from L-arginine by endothelium nitric oxide synthase (NOS3). It has been shown that reduced NO synthesis in endothelial cells has been implicated in the development of coronary atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that polymorphisms of NOS3 gene might be associated with increased susceptibility of coronary artery disease (CAD) and plasma NO concentrations. METHODS AND...
