The influence of renin angiotensin aldosterone system blockers on asymmetric dimethylarginine levels in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis
Endothelial dysfunction could be related to the limited availability of nitric oxide (NO). NO is synthesized with the participation of an NO synthase whose activity is inhibited by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). The synthesis of ADMA is exacerbated by oxidative stress, and several studies have...
