Glu298Asp eNOS Gene Polymorphism Causes Attenuation in Exercise‐Induced Muscle Vasodilatation in Humans

Glu298Asp eNOS gene polymorphism causes attenuation in nonexercising muscle vasodilatation.

The influence of Glu298Asp endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) polymorphism in exercise-induced reflex muscle vasodilatation is unknown. We hypothesized that nonexercising forearm blood flow (FBF) responses during handgrip isometric exercise would be attenuated in individuals carrying the Asp298 allele. In addition, these responses would be mediated by reduced eNOS function and NO-mediated...

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 (...

Association of Endothelial Dysfunction with Endothelin, Nitric Oxide and eNOS Glu298Asp Gene Polymorphism in Coronary Artery Disease

The endothelial dysfunction has been implicated as a major event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Therefore, this study was planned to determine (a) role of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin as coronary artery disease (CAD) risk markers and (b) intergenotypic variation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) Glu298Asp polymorphism in CAD.The endothelin, NO and eNOS...

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene (Glu298Asp variant) in infertile men with asthenozoospermia.

The objective of this study was to elucidate the missense Glu298Asp polymorphism within exon 7 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene in infertile men with asthenozoospermia and its potential role in sperm motility. In this prospective controlled study conducted in our andrology unit, we investigated the frequency of the 894G>T polymorphism (Glu298Asp variant) within exon 7 of the...
