Abstract excerpt
Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase and is metabolised by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH). Elevated levels of circulating ADMA correlate with various cardiovascular pathologies less is known about the cellular effects of altered DDAH activity. We modified DDAH activity in cells and measured the changes in ADMA levels, morphological phenotypes on...
