Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and its degrading enzyme dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) in angiotensin II (ANG II)-induced hypertension and target organ damage in mice. Mice transgenic for the human DDAH1 gene (TG) and wild-type (WT) mice (each, n = 28) were treated with 1.0 microg kg(-1)...
