The effects of endothelial nitric oxide synthase tagSNPs on nitrite levels and risk of hypertension and obesity in children and adolescents
Obesity and the nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) gene polymorphisms are associated with nitrite levels and hypertension. However, no study has tested the hypothesis that NOS3 tagSNPs rs3918226, rs3918188, rs7435...

The effects of NAMPT haplotypes and metabolic risk factors on circulating visfatin/NAMPT levels in childhood obesity
Polymorphisms in the NAMPT gene, which encodes the adipocytokine visfatin/nicotinamide phosphorybosil transferase (NAMPT), affect the circulating visfatin/NAMPT levels and are associated with obesity and cardiova...

Haptoglobin polymorphism affects nitric oxide bioavailability in preeclampsia
Studies showed elevated cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) in preeclampsia (PE), and Hb reacts with nitric oxide (NO), decreasing its bioavailability. Haptoglobin (Hp) is a polymorphic protein (Hp1-1, Hp2-1 and Hp2-2) ...

Adiponectin associates positively with nitrite levels in children and adolescents
To compare the circulating levels of adiponectin and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in eutrophic, eutrophic hypertensive, obese, and obese hypertensive children and adolescents, and to assess whether adipon...

Common matrix metalloproteinase 2 gene haplotypes may modulate left ventricular remodelling in hypertensive patients
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in cardiac remodelling. We examined whether MMP-2 genetic polymorphisms are associated with hypertension and left ventricular (LV) remodelling in hypertensive pati...

Circulating matrix metalloproteinases and their endogenous inhibitors in patients with erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) may reflect vascular alterations associated with imbalanced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activities. However, no previous study has compared MMPs levels in ED patients with those ...
