Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations of genes encoding the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the NADH/NADPH oxidase system are related with atherosclerosis in the general population, but their significance in women is not sufficiently assessed. We investigated the potential association between the G894T polymorphism of the NOS3 gene and the C242T polymorphism of the CYBA gene with subclinical vascular disease. Seventy...
