Abstract excerpt
Endothelium-derived nitric oxide formed by endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) mediates endothelium-dependent vasodilation and antithrombotic action. We analyzed the distribution of a polymorphism of ecNOS (27-bp repeat in intron 4) in 127 ischemic stroke patients (18 with atherothrombotic, 58 with lacunar, and 51 with silent lacunar stroke) and 91 control subjects. When we assigned the four...
