Abstract excerpt
The distribution of extracellular-superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) levels in healthy Australian subjects was consistent with two distinct phenotypes in which the smaller group of subjects (3.3%) had 15-fold higher levels. The EC-SOD levels in individuals homozygous for endothelial constitutive nitric oxide synthase 4a (ecNOS4a), a rare allele for ecNOS repeat polymorphism at intron 4, were significantly lower than...
