Is basal nitric oxide synthase activity a major determinant of glomerular haemodynamics in humans?
Our data clearly support experimental evidence linking NOS activity with increased glomerular filtration, and suggest that basal NO activity is also a major determinant of glomerular haemodynamics in the human renal vasculature.
Less beneficial 10-year changes in smoking were observed in African Americans, but socioeconomic factors explained most of the racial disparity.
