Abstract:
Asymmetric dimethyloarginin or dimethylarginin (ADMA) is a marker and maker of oxidative stress. It is elevated in several pathological conditions, such as hyperhomocysteinemia and endothelial dysfunction, which have also been reported in patients with exfoliation syndrome (XFS), or exfoliative glaucoma (XFG). We evaluated ADMA levels in the aqueous humor of XFS and XFG patients.
