Glu298Asp endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism interacts with environmental and dietary factors to influence endothelial function.
An endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphism (Glu298Asp) has been associated with cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether carriage of the polymorphism was associated with functional changes in the endothelium, and how genotype altered the harmful and beneficial impact of environmental influences on the endothelium. Endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated brachial artery di...
متن کاملAssociation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a large range of processes, and abnormality in the production of NO has been implicated in diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). G894T polymorphism in the eNOS gene has been shown to decreased activity the NO levels of plasma. The association between eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and DN ri...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene Glu298Asp polymorphism is associated with advanced stage endometriosis.
BACKGROUND Altered expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has been reported to be involved in the development of endometriosis. The genotypes of eNOS gene (NOS3) may be responsible for variation in its enzymatic activity as well as plasma concentration of nitric oxide. The Glu298Asp polymorphism of the NOS3 may modulate angiogenesis and influence individual susceptibility to end...
متن کاملAssociation Between the Glu298Asp Polymorphism in the Endothelial Constitutive Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene and Brain Infarction
Background and Purpose—Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by endothelial constitutive NO synthase (ecNOS) plays a key role in vascular regulation and atherosclerosis. Little is known concerning the role of the ecNOS gene (NOS3) as a risk factor for brain infarction (BI). Our aim was to investigate the relation between the Glu298Asp polymorphism in exon 7 of NOS3 with BI and its subtypes. Methods—Pat...
متن کاملEndothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism and acute myocardial infarction.
Recently a point mutation of guanine to thymine at nucleotide position 1917 in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene has been reported to be associated with coronary artery spasm. In addition, a significant association of the 4a/b polymorphism in intron 4 of the eNOS gene with coronary artery disease has been reported. However, the implications of these polymorphisms with respect to...
