T<sup>−786</sup>→C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene is associated with insulin resistance in patients with ischemic or non ischemic cardiomyopathy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Insulin resistance (IR) and endothelial dysfunction are frequently associated in cardiac disease. The T<sup>−786</sup>→C variant in the promoter region of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene has been associa...
