Overexpression of Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 Protects from Asymmetric Dimethylarginine-induced Endothelial Dysfunction and Aortic Remodeling
2021-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objective: </h4> Elevated plasma concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) are associated with an increased risk of mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. ADMA can be metabolized by dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolases (DDAHs) and by alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2). Deletion of DDAH1 in mice leads to elevation of ADMA in plasma and blood pressure, while overexpression of hu...
