Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Subjects with mutations in the Ataxia-Telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene encoding for ATM kinase have a greater predisposition to develop atherosclerosis, but the mechanism behind this phenomenon is not yet understood. NADPH oxidase type 2 may play a role in this process, leading to endothelial dysfunction and an increased susceptibility to thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the redox...
