Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino acid peptide, is widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as in the heart. A relationship has been reported between NPY gene variants and coronary artery disease (CAD) in some populations. However, there are few data on the NPY gene polymorphism and CAD in the Persian population. In the current study we have investigated the relationship...
