Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule with multiple functions. Several drugs involve the modulation of NO levels in their mechanism of action. NO is mainly produced in vessels by endothelial NO synthase, which is encoded by NOS3 gene. This gene shows genetic polymorphisms associated with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, inflammation, psychiatric disorders, cancer, and others. AREAS COVERED:...
