Association of eNOS Glu298Asp polymorphism with end-stage renal disease.
Nitric oxide (NO) derived from endothelial cells is profoundly related to the maintenance of physiological vascular tone. Impairment of endothelial NO generation brought about by gene polymorphism is considered the major deterioration factor for progressive renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy. The present study aimed to elucidate the Glu298Asp polymorphism of endothelial NO synthase (...
متن کاملIs Sudden Hearing Loss Associated with Atherosclerosis?
Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (SSNHL) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ENT) clinics. Several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. In this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in SSNHL patients. Materials and ...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene Glu298Asp polymorphism is associated with advanced stage endometriosis.
BACKGROUND Altered expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been reported to be involved in the development of endometriosis. The genotypes of eNOS gene (NOS3) may be responsible for variation in its enzymatic activity as well as plasma concentration of nitric oxide. The Glu298Asp polymorphism of the NOS3 may modulate angiogenesis and influence individual susceptibility to end...
متن کاملEchogenic carotid plaques are associated with aortic arterial stiffness in subjects with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis.
A better understanding of the interrelationships between the structure and function of the large arteries would lead to optimize cardiovascular disease prevention strategies. In this study, we investigated the relationships of aortic arterial stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV), with carotid plaque echogenicity assessed by B-mode ultrasound. We analyzed 561 subjects ...
