Asymmetrical dimethyl arginine (ADMA) is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, which causes endothelial dysfunction. Measurement of plasma ADMA levels can be used for risk stratification of patients with atherosclerotic disease. L-arginine supplementation might improve endothelial function in patients with elevated ADMA levels.
