Functional Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Variants Associate With Hypertension
Increased inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity and expression has been associated with hypertension, but less is known whether the 2 known functional polymorphic sites in the iNOS gene (g.-1026 C/A (rs2779249), g.2087 G/A (rs2297518)) affect susceptibility to hypertension. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the genetic variants of iNOS and diagnose...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...
متن کاملCCTTT pentanucleotide repeats in inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
INTRODUCTION One of the pathways involved in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is the nitric oxide (NO) pathway. A polymorphism in the inducible NO synthase (NOS2) gene has been described, consisting of the CCTTT pentanucleotide repeat, which causes a reduction in NO production. The aim of this study was to determine if this polymorphism increases susceptibility to developing PAH. METHODS...
متن کاملthe analysis of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism in intron 4 with hypertension disease
nitric oxide is an important vasorelaxant factor that it inhibits platelet adhesion and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. no is synthesized from l-arginine by means of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) which is an isoform of nitric oxide synthase.in the present study, we examined possible association between the 27 base pair (bp) repeat polymorphism in intron 4 of the enos3 gene ...
متن کاملAloe vera toxic effects: expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in testis of Wistar rat
Objective(s): Nitric oxide (NO), a product of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), contributes in germ cell apoptosis. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera gel (AVG) on male Wistar rat reproductive organ, serum NO level, and expression of iNOS gene in leydig cells. Materials and Methods:Adult male Wistar rats (n=36) were used for experiments in three groups. The experim...
