Association of Nitric Oxide Levels and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase G894T Polymorphism with Coronary Artery Disease in the Iranian Population

Abstract: Purpose:The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) G894T polymorphism has been reported to cause endothelial dysfunction and may have a role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of eNOS G894T genetic polymorphism and plasma levels of nitric oxide (NO) with CAD risk in an Iranian population.Materials and Methods:We studied 200 patients with angiographically documented CAD and 100 matched controls. Analysis of G894T genetic polymor… Show more

“…The T allele of the eNOS rs1799983 SNP was associated with a reduced eNOS activity and a lower nitrate concentration in blood (Mahmoodi et al 2016). Hence, the genetic factors (rs1799983-T allele reduces blood nitrate concentration) together with the dietary habits (high salt intake from fast-food and reduced nitrate intake from vegetables) may be the possible explanation for the significant association between subjects with rs1799983-GT genotype that consume fast-food regularly and a higher risk towards stroke.…”
