    Gene–gene interactions in the NAMPT pathway, plasma visfatin/NAMPT levels, and antihypertensive therapy responsiveness in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

    Nicotinamide phosphorybosil transferase (NAMPT) polymorphisms affect visfatin/NAMPT levels and may affect the responsiveness to therapy in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We examined whether NAMPT polymorphi...

    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...

    eNOS haplotype associated with hypertension in obese children and adolescents

    The aim of our study is to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene (in the promoter region T−786C, in exon 7 (Glu298Asp) and in intron 4 (4b/4a)) or eNOS hap...
