Asymmetrical dimethylarginine regulates endothelial function in methionine-induced but not in chronic homocystinemia in humans: effect of oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokines.
BACKGROUND: Homocystinemia is a metabolic abnormality associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased cardiovascular disease risk. The underlying mechanisms of these effects, however, are obscure. OBJECTIVE: We examined the effect of asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) on endothelial dysfunc...
