General description

NG,NG-Dimethylarginine dihydrochloride is a methylated arginine derivative, which is produced by the liver. It is linked to liver cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis and acute liver failure (ALF).

Application

NG,NG- Dimethylarginine dihydrochloride has been used:
  • to study its effects on cardiovascular activities in rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) in rats
  • as a standard for measuring L-arginine and dimethylarginines
  • to study its effects on hepatic deterioration

Biochem/physiol Actions

Reversible inhibitor of nitric oxide synthetase in vivo and in vitro.

Increasing evidence suggests that endothelial cell distress is associated with mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and acute graft-versus-host disease. Asymmetric dimethylarginine is an endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor that induces endothelial cell dysfunction. We analyzed the impact of pre-transplant

Decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and increased oxidative stress may be involved in the pathogenesis of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). The relationship between asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous NO synthase inhibitor, and CI-AKI is unknown. We measured plasma ADMA
