Cellular regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase.

EXPRESSION OF INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE (iNOS) STIMULATED BY HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expresses a calcium calmudolin-independent enzyme which can catalyse NO production from L-arginine. The induction of iNOS activity has been demonstrated in a wide variety of cell types under stimulation with cytokines and lipopoly saccharide (LPS). Previous studies indicated that all nitric oxide synthases (NOS) activated in human umbilical vein endot...

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...

P-235: No Association of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) -786T/C Polymorphism with Unexplained Recurrent Abortion in Iranian Women

Background: This is a case-control study to determine the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene -786T/C polymorphism in women with unexplaiend recurrent abortion in comparison with healty women.Materials and Methods: 95 women with history of at least 2 unexplaiend recurrent abortion in the reproductive age range 20-35 years as patients group and 95 healty women (age...
