The results of studies on the association of ecNOS polymorphisms and vascular diseases are inconsistent. To explore the nature of this interaction in the absence of confounding factors, such as smoking, we measured ecNOS mRNA, protein, and enzyme activity in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with and without ecNOS polymorphisms.
