Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Preeclampsia is associated with reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Arginase is related to NO synthesis, but relatively unexplored in preeclampsia. However, no previous study has examined whether variations in ARG1 and ARG2 genes affect NO bioavailability and the risk of preeclampsia. Here, we compared the alleles and genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ARG1...
