Symmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) endogenously inhibits nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and strongly indicates oxidant stress, whose formation primarily derived from type 1 protein arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT1) and whose metabolism was governed by type 1 dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH1). This study aimed to evaluate participation of the PRMT1-ADMA-DDAH1 metabolism axis in the kidneys of type 2 diabetes model rats and human subjects, and the effect of probucol on this axis and renal function.
