Measurement of asymmetric dimethylarginine in plasma: methodological considerations and clinical relevance
Abstract
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a potent inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase and is regarded as a novel risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The metabolic pathways of ADMA and homocysteine are strongly intertwined. First, during synthesis of ADMA, two equivalents of homocysteine are formed. Second, homocysteine has been shown to inhibit the ADMA-degrading enzyme dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase. Finally, homocysteine, either...
