Abstract excerpt
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) regulates the functional integrity of the endothelium. It is hypothesized that the activity of epoxide hydrolase (EPHX2), which determines EET concentration through hydrolysis, may affect the progression of glomerulonephritis. Here, we evaluated the relationship between genetic variations, the in vivo activity of EPHX2, and progression of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Three...
