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.

Nitric oxide (NO), synthesised from L-arginine, contributes to the regulation of blood pressure and to host defence. We describe in-vitro and in-vivo evidence that NO synthesis can be inhibited by an endogenous compound, NG,NG-dimethylarginine (asymmetrical dimethylarginine, ADMA). In man, this

Inpatients with cirrhosis have high rates of acute-on-chronic failure (ACLF) development and high mortality within 30 days of admission to the hospital. Better biomarkers are needed to predict these outcomes. We performed metabolomic analyses of serum samples from patients with

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
