association between paraoxonase -1 gene pro-moter t (-107) c polymorphism and coronary artery disease

association between the severity of angiographic coronary artery disease and paraoxonase-1 promoter gene polymorphism t(-107)c in iranian population

the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and cell membrane lipids is believed to play an integral role in the development of fatty streak lesions, an initial step in coronary artery disease (cad). paraoxonase-1 (pon1) is an enzyme associated with the high-density lipoprotein (hdl) particle. pon1 protects ldl from oxidative modification by hydrolyzing lipid peroxides, suggestive of a role for p...

Association Study of rs3184504 C>T Polymorphism in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Cardiovascular disease has become the main factor of death and birth defects in the world and also in Iran. New clinical studies have shown that early diagnosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) can contribute to effective prevention or therapeutic structures, which reduce mortality or the next chance of cardiovascular events, and increase the quality of life. Most studies on CAD d...

Association between T-786C polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene and level of the vessel dilation factor in patients with coronary artery disease

Various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOs) gene cause reduced production of NO, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C polymorphism of the eNOs gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) in north-west of Iran. One hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...

Study of the correlation between ACE gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease

Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an exopeptidase that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and releases aldosterone, and have a critical role in hypertension. In this study, ACE insertion / deletion (I/D) polymorphism and ACE activity was determined in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and normal subjects. The corr...

Association between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease

  Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in developed countries. In addition to traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, nowadays, accumulating evidence indicates that a variety of infections contribute to pathogenesis of atherosclerosis,  (We investigated whether Helicobacter pylori infection is related to Prevalence of coronar...
