Figure 1.
Characterization of Glu298Asp genotyped cells. General characteristics of the genotyped ECs are shown here. Top: Representative images of ECs from the three NOS3 Glu298Asp genotypes. No apparent morphological differences were observed across the three genotypes. There were no significant differences in cell size or shape. Protein/DNA ratio was not different among genotypes either. Basal NOS3 mRNA and protein levels in the genotyped ECs were not significantly different.
