Abstract excerpt
1. Nitric oxide synthase and renal kallikrein are both involved in blood pressure regulation. Genes for these enzymes may, therefore, be considered candidates for hypertension pathogenesis. 2. In the present study, genotypes for nitric oxide synthase and renal kallikrein microsatellite markers were determined in a cross-sectional association analysis of hypertensive patients and normotensive control subjects. 3....
