Increased plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels in retinal venous occlusive disease

Background: We investigated the levels of the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), as well as homocysteine and cysteine thiols, in a cohort of subjects affected by retinal vein occlusion (RVO) disease.

Methods: Capillary electrophoresis analysis was performed in both RVO subjects (n=54) and in a control group (n=32).

Results: No differences were found between controls and patients; however, after categorisation for RVO type, central RVO (CRVO) patients showed higher levels of ADMA (0.710±0.139 ?mol/L) than controls (0.635±0.117 ?mol/L) and branch RVO patients (0.642±0.096 ?mol/L)...

Keywords: asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) inhibition, retinal vein occlusion, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA)
