Abstract
Aim of this work is to detect the expression of eNOS gene in the
blood and arterial wall of atherosclerotic occlusive arterial disease patients
as well as normal vessels.
This study was carried out on the 40 patients who are suffering
from atherosclerotic occlusive arterial disease (23 males and 17
females) and 10 patients (10 male) who are had traumatic arterial
injuries as control group. The range of age was 7-95 years for all
patients, 42-95 years for the diseased group (POAD), 7-36 years for
the control group.
The results of this study showed there is statistical significance in
correlation between the two studied groups as there is decrease in
expression of eNOS gene in the diseased group than the control group in
both tissue (arterial wall) and blood.
