• Pharmacogenomics of lipid-lowering therapies

  Statins are the most widely used group of lipid-lowering drugs and they have been shown to be effective in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, primarily by reducing plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and possibly through other pleiotropic effects. However, there are larg more

• Arginine and nitric oxide synthase: Regulatory mechanisms and cardiovascular aspects

  l‐Arginine (l‐Arg) is a conditionally essential amino acid in the human diet. The most common dietary sources of l‐Arg are meat, poultry and fish. l‐Arg is the precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO); a key signaling molecule via NO synthase (NOS). Endogenous NOS inhibitors such as asymme more
