Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that expression and activity of nitric oxide synthase-3 enzyme (Nos3) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortopathy are related to tissue layer and Nos3 genotype. METHODS: Gene expression of Nos3 and platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (Pecam1) and NOS activity were measured in intima-containing media and adventitial specimens of ascending aortic tissue. The presence of 2...
