| pubmed-article:17852822 | pubmed:abstractText | Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide production. It has been implicated in various pathological processes, especially processes involving the cardiovascular system. Plasma concentration of ADMA (p-ADMA) has been measured in several studies with different techniques, and a wide range of normal values has been published. With use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection, we have established health-associated reference values for p-ADMA, p-arginine, p-SDMA and the p-arginine/p-ADMA and p-arginine/p-SDMA ratios. | lld:pubmed |
