Abstract excerpt
The antihypertensive effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are associated with up-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) activity. This mechanism may explain how polymorphisms in NOS3 gene affect the antihypertensive responses to ACEi. While clinically relevant NOS3 polymorphisms were previously shown to affect the antihypertensive responses to enalapril, no study has tested...
