Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) enzyme is a critical regulator of cerebrovascular homeostasis. Genetic variability of G894T and intronic 4ab polymorphism in eNOS could affect the expression and activity of eNOS enzyme, modulating NO levels in endothelium. This results in endothelial dysfunction, which can contribute to the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. The purpose of...
