Roles of Nitric Oxide and Asymmetric Dimethylarginine in Pregnancy and Fetal Programming
Nitric oxide (NO) regulates placental blood flow and actively participates in trophoblast invasion and placental development. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) can inhibit NO synthase, which generates NO. ADMA has been associated with uterine artery flow disturbances such as preeclampsia. Substantial experimental evidence has reliably supported the hypothesis that an adverse in utero environme...
متن کاملO-32: Nitric Oxide and Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Levels of Serum and Peritoneal Fluid in Women with Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecological syndrom. Its etiology is still not fully understand .A great number of studies reported increase NO concentration, with altered peritoneal immune defence reaction, was involved in pathogenesis of endometriosis. Asymmetric Dimethylarginine is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of NO synthase. Elevated ADMA level is associated with reduced syst...
متن کاملRoles of Insulin, Age, and Asymmetric Dimethylarginine on Nitric Oxide Synthesis In Vivo
We tested the effects of insulin on production of nitrous oxide (NO)-related substances (nitrites and nitrates [NOx]) after (15)N-arginine intravenous infusion and on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) concentrations in conditions reportedly associated with altered NO availability, i.e., aging, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitu...
متن کاملAsymmetric Dimethylarginine, Endothelial Nitric Oxide Bioavailability and Mortality in Sepsis
BACKGROUND Plasma concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, are raised in patients with chronic vascular disease, causing increased cardiovascular risk and endothelial dysfunction, but the role of ADMA in acute inflammatory states is less well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective longitudinal study in 67 patients with acut...
متن کاملImpaired nitric oxide synthase pathway in diabetes mellitus: role of asymmetric dimethylarginine and dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase.
BACKGROUND An endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), is elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). This study explored the mechanisms by which ADMA becomes elevated in DM. METHODS AND RESULTS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed normal chow or high-fat diet (n=5 in each) with moderate streptozotocin injection to induce type 2 DM. Plasma A...
