Abstract:
The cytochrome p450 2C (CYP2C) monooxygenase family is a key player in the generation of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. It has recently become apparent that CYP plays an important role in cardiovascular physiology and contributes to the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. In particular, several studies have demonstrated a role for these enzymes in cardiac ischemia and reperfusion injury. The current review summarizes the role of the CYP epoxygenase, CYP2C9, in ischemic heart disease and vascular homeostasis.

Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and narrowing...
