Association between 894G>T endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome.

چکیده
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and type II diabetes. Here, we performed a case-control study analyzing the association between 894G>T endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism (NOS3) and MS in 616 subjects. Genotype frequencies were TT= 9.3%, GG= 37.2 and TG= 53.6% and the allelic frequencies were T=0.36 and G= 0.64. We observed a higher TT genotype frequency in the male MS group than control subjects (p=0.02), independent of other variables. We found an association between hypertension and TT genotype in females. Our data suggests that 894G>T plays a significant role in the mechanistic interaction between metabolic risk such as hypertension and MS, although sex-related differences may exist.

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...

Influence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms (-786T/C, 4a4b, 894G/T) on Iranian kidney transplant recipients.
OBJECTIVES Nitric oxide is a major mediator in vascular biology and regulator of regional blood flow. Its production is catalyzed by the enzyme endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Protective actions of nitric oxide in ischemia and reperfusion are due to its potential as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, along with its inhibitory effects on cell signaling pathways of nuclear proteins, s...
