Mechanical force promotes dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1-mediated hydrolysis of the metabolite asymmetric dimethylarginine to enhance bone formation

Mechanical force is critical for the development and remodeling of bones. Here the authors report that mechanical force regulates the production of the metabolite asymmetric dimethylarginine via regulating the expression of the hydrolytic enzyme dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 in osteoblas...
