1. Introduction composed of two divergent actions, that is, vasodilation by the stimulated release of NO and other vasodilating The endothelium provides a variety of important func-substances such as EDHF from the endothelium, and direct tions involved in the cardiovascular homeostasis. The vasoconstricting effects on the underlying vascular smooth assessment of endothelial function in humans has focused muscle, particularly with higher doses. In contrast to primarily on endothelial dependent vasomotion in response acetylcholine, bradykinin—and possibly substance P—is to the release of NO. In particular, clinical studies have likely to play a physiological role. Tissue bradykinin is evaluated vasomotor tone following changes in flow or inactivated by the endothelial angiotensin-converting en-stimuli for the release of NO from the endothelium, such zyme [6] and can be released by increased flow [7]. as acetylcholine, substance P or serotonin [1]. However, Endogenous bradykinin appears to be involved in the NO not only acts as a vasodilating substance but also regulation of basal and flow-mediated coronary vasomotor affects other functions of the endothelium such as the tone in humans [8]. However the vasodilator effect of adhesive properties of the endothelium with respect to the bradykinin involves not only NO but also PGI and EDHF.

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...

The interaction between coronary endothelial dysfunction, local oxidative stress, and endogenous nitric oxide in humans.

In vitro and animal studies suggest that oxidative stress is associated with endothelial dysfunction. We tested whether local oxidative stress and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in the coronary circulation is associated with coronary endothelial dysfunction in humans. Blood samples were obtained simultaneously from the left main coronary artery and the coronary sinus for measurement of F2-is...

ارزیابی غلظت سرمی نیتریک اکساید در بیماران مبتلا به سندرم جریان آهسته کرونری

Background & Aims: Coronary slow flow phenomenon (SCF) is normal or near-normal angiographically that is known with delayed passage of contrast in coronary arteries. Etiology of SCF is unknown. Endothelial dysfunction is one of the main factors in the etiology of SCF and vascular endothelium-derived nitric oxide is one of the main biochemical factors in the regulation of vascular tonisity. The ...
