Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade improves proteinuria and the endothelial functions in diabetic nephropathy. Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), abundant in the cell than in the plasma, is also improved by RAS blockage. We hypothesized that RAS blockade may reduce ADMA by reducing injurious cell death.
