Abstract excerpt
Hypertension is a multifactorial disorder associated with increased inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and activity. While genetic polymorphisms affect iNOS expression, it is not known whether iNOS gene polymorphisms affect the susceptibility to hypertension and the responses to antihypertensive therapy. This study aimed at assessing whether iNOS polymorphisms ((CCTTT)(n), g.-1026C>A, and...
