2012, Wilderness and Environmental MedicineCitation Excerpt :eNOS gene expression is upregulated in conditions that require reducing the alveolar to arterial oxygen tension difference.3 Many studies have focused on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of eNOS, to find an association between polymorphisms and HAPE.3–7 However, because HAPE is rare, only limited data are currently available.
