  • Enhancement of vascular function by modulation of endogenous nitric oxide production or activity
    Publication number: 20020013288
    Abstract: Vascular function and structure is maintained or improved by long term administration of physiologically acceptable compounds which enhance the level of endogenous nitric oxide or other intermediates in the NO induced relaxation pathway in the host.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 15, 2001
    Publication date: January 31, 2002

  • Compositions and methods based upon an isoform of p53
    Patent number: 6294384
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an isoform of the p53 tumor suppressor and to polynucleotides that encode this isoform. The isoform may be used as a marker to indicate that cardiac cells have experienced hypoxia, as would occur during a myocardial infarction. In addition, vectors encoding the isoform may be transfected into cells as a means of regulating proliferation.

  • Enhancement of vascular function by modulation of endogenous nitric oxide production or activity
    Patent number: 6642208
    Abstract: Vascular function and structure is maintained or improved by long term administration of physiologically acceptable compounds which enhance the level of endogenous nitric oxide or other intermediates in the NO induced relaxation pathway in the host. Alternatively, or in combination, other compounds may be administered which provide for short term enhancement of nitric oxide, either directly or by physiological processes.
