Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide is thought to be involved in blood pressure regulation. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) genes are logical candidates for genetic hypertension. Of the three known forms of NOS, the "neuronal" and "inducible" Nos genes have been tested as candidate genes for causing inherited hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. In the present work, we analyzed the endothelial Nos gene, designated Nos3, directly and...
