[Serum levels of antioxidant enzymes, MDA and its relation to T-786C nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism in patients with Coronary Artery Diseases [CAD]]

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: Various mutations on endothelial Nitric Oxide synthase [eNOs] gene can cause reduced production of NO and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study was designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C gene polymorphism in a group of patients suffering from CAD in North West of Iran, The association of the polymorphism with other risk factors including Antioxidant activity indices, Lipid Peroxidation and MDA were also determined
