Isoquercetin increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase, reduced inducible nitric oxide synthase levels and suppressed the Toll-like receptor 4‑nuclear factor (TLR4‑NF)‑κB signaling pathway in a rat with AMI.
Changes of soluble CD40 ligand in the progression of acute myocardial infarction associate to endothelial nitric oxide synthase polymorphisms and vascular endothelial growth factor but not to platelet CD62P expression.
In contrast to previous reports, homozygosity for the Asp298 variant of the 894G>T polymorphism in the eNOS gene was not found to be associated with risk of AMI, extent of CAD and in-hospital mortality after AMI.
Recent reports have suggested that the Glu298Asp polymorphism in exon 7 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene is associated with coronary spasm and acute myocardial infarction.
In conclusion, the 27-bp repeat polymorphism of the eNOS gene was not associated with CAD and the occurrence of AMI or unstable angina in a hospital-based Taiwanese population.
