Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms in patients with slow coronary flow
Background and aims The aim of this study was to explore potential associations of the intron 4 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) and E298A polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene with slow coronary flow (SCF). The association between plasma nitrate and nitrite (NO x ) concentrations and eNOS gene polymorphisms was also assessed. Materials and methods The int...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase levels and their response to exercise in patients with slow coronary flow
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in the aetiopathogenesis of slow coronary flow (SCF) even if there is no obstructive epicardial lesion. Reduced plasma levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) are an important indicator of endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to determine plasma levels of eNOS and their relationship with exercise in patients with SCF. METHODS Twenty-...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms in giant cell arteritis.
OBJECTIVE To examine potential associations of the Glu/Asp(298) polymorphism in exon 7 and the 4a/b polymorphism in intron 4 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene with susceptibility to and clinical expression of giant cell arteritis (GCA), particularly in patients with versus those without ischemic complications. METHODS Ninety-one consecutive patients with biopsy-proven GCA, ...
متن کاملAssociation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a large range of processes, and abnormality in the production of NO has been implicated in diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). G894T polymorphism in the eNOS gene has been shown to decreased activity the NO levels of plasma. The association between eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and DN ri...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and renal survival.
To the Editor: Development of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and a blunted in vitro generation of nitric oxide (NO) have been recently associated with the 298Asp substitution in the endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) gene.1 Diabetic nephropathy was the culprit of ESRD in most patients (pts);1 however, the same association was recently reported in pts with ESRD due to polycystic kidney disease.2 Col...
