Abstract:
Experimental evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may increase the activity of arginine methylating enzymes that produce the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). In addition, it is well documented that OS can significantly decrease the synthesis and/or activity of ADMA degrading enzymes, thus causing ADMA accumulation in biological fluids. Recent reports have focused on circulating methylated arginine concentrations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a disease characterized by a significant increase in OS. This review discusses the results of these studies and the opportunities for further research in this area.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
