Assessment of s-nitrosothiol and thiol/disulfide levels in acute coronary syndrome patients by Mehmet Murat YiğitbaşI
BACKGROUND: The level of nitric oxide (NO) is important to protect the heart from ischemic damage in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. S-nitrosothiol (SNO) is a molecule that represents the main form of NO storage in the vascular structure.
