Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is a type of nitric oxide synthase that mainly exists in the endothelium. It produces nitric oxide (NO) to regulate the function of endothelial cells. Endothelial dysfunction and increased NO metabolites have been shown in animal models of lupus and in lupus patients, so eNOS gene polymorphisms may be important in the pathogenesis of SLE. This study aimed to...
