Endothelial nitric oxide synthase/soluble guanylate cyclase system in human nasal polyps.

The aim of our study was to analyze the level of expression of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) system in nasal polyps and control nasal mucosae. The study was performed in polyps from 15 patients and nasal mucosae from 11 subjects operated on the nasal septum (control group). The expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) was determined in nasal mucosae.
