Antioxidant enzyme en bloeddruk

Het NOS3 gen codeert voor een enzym dat stikstofoxide produceert. Stikstofmonoxide is een antioxidant die vrije radicalen kan neutraliseren. Het beschermt ook tegen infecties en tumorgroei, vergemakkelijkt verschillende biologische processen waaronder celsignalering en kan de bloedvaten verwijden.

De genvariatie die we testen, deactiveert het NOS3-enzym, wat kan leiden tot verlaagde stikstofoxideniveaus. Dit hangt sterk samen met sommige cardiovasculaire aandoeningen zoals hypertensie.
