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

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
