Association between polymorphisms in NOS3 and KCNH2 and social memory
Social memory, including the ability to recognize faces and voices, is essential for social relationships. It has a large heritable component, but the knowledge about the contributing genes is sparse. The genetic variation underlying inter-individual differences in social memory was investigated in an exploratory sample (n = 55), genotyped with a chip comprising approximately 200,000 single nuc...
متن کاملAkt1 mediates purinergic-dependent NOS3 activation in thick ascending limbs.
Extracellular ATP regulates many physiological processes via release of nitric oxide (NO). ATP stimulates NO in thick ascending limbs (TALs), but the signaling cascade involved in the cells of this nephron segment, as well as many other types of cells, is poorly understood. We hypothesized that ATP enhances NO synthase (NOS) activity by stimulating PI3 kinase and Akt. We measured 1) NO in TALs ...
متن کاملHaplotypes of NOS3 Gene Polymorphisms in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by systolic dysfunction, followed by heart failure necessitating cardiac transplantation. The genetic basis is well established by the identification of mutations in sarcomere and cytoskeleton gene/s. Modifier genes and environmental factors are also considered to play a significant role in the variable expression of the disease, hence various mecha...
متن کاملNOS3 genotype-dependent correlation between blood pressure and physical activity.
Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation plays an important role in reduction of blood pressure and is mediated through release of nitric oxide (NO), which is generated by constitutively expressed endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3). Exercise also augments NO release and has been recommended for primary prevention and improvement of hypertension, but individual responses are highly variable. W...
متن کاملAssociation of NOS3 tag polymorphisms with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
AIM To test the association of NOS3 gene with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). METHODS The study included 110 unrelated term or preterm born children (69 boys and 41 girls) with HIE and 128 term and preterm born children (60 boys and 68 girls) without any neurological problems after the second year of life. Children with perinatal HIE fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for perinatal asph...
