Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO), produced by the enzyme endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), has critical roles in the regulation of vascular homeostasis and prevention of atherogenesis by inhibiting leukocytes, platelet activation, and smooth muscle cell proliferation. There is strong experimental and clinical evidence that abnormalities in eNOS availability play an important role in the pathophysiology of coronary...
