Abstract

Endothelial dysfunction due to the reduced bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the course of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease as well as chronic kidney disease (CKD). NO is synthesized from L-arginine via the action of NO synthase, which is blocked by endogenous L-arginine analogues such as asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). ADMA is a naturally occurring amino acid found in plasma and various types of tissues. The plasma level of ADMA is reported to be associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and CKD, and is a strong predictor for cardiovascular disease and the progression of CKD. In this review, we discuss the biology of ADMA, the molecular mechanisms of the elevation of ADMA levels in CKD, and the pathological role of ADMA in patients with CKD.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • eNOS uncoupling due to uremic toxins including asymmetric dimethyl-arginine contributes to oxidative stress and ROS-derived kidney damage.

    “As already discussed, eNOS uncoupling, due to the various uremic toxins, including asymmetric dimethyl-arginine, is a ROS contributor to oxidative stress and ROS-derived damage in the kidney (Ueda et al. 2007).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
