Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing problem nowadays, and diabetic retinopathy (DR) is its predominant complication. Currently, DR diagnosis primarily relies on fundoscopic examination; however, novel biomarkers may facilitate that process and make it widely available. In this current review, we delve into the intricate roles of various factors and mechanisms in DR development, progression, prediction, and their association with therapeutic approaches linked to the underlying pathogenic pathways. Specifically, we focus on advanced glycation end products, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), asymmetric dimethylarginine, endothelin-1, and the epigenetic regulation mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs) in the context of DR.

Abstract
Our investigation intended to analyze the effects of sulfated polysaccharides from Caulerpa racemosa (SPCr) in attenuating obesity-induced cardiometabolic syndrome via regulating the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1-asymmetric dimethylarginine-dimethylarginine dimethylamino-hydrolase (PRMT1-DDAH-ADMA) with the mammalian target of rapamycin-Sirtuin 1-5' AMP-activated protein kinase (mTOR-SIRT1-AMPK) pathways and gut microbiota modulation. This is a follow-up study that used SPs from previous in vitro studies, consisting of 2,3-di-O-methyl-1,4,5-tri-O-acetylarabinitol, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-mannopyranose, and type B ulvanobiuronicacid 3-sulfate. A total of forty rats were randomly divided into four treatment groups: Group A received a standard diet; Group B was provided with a diet enriched in cholesterol and fat (CFED); and Groups C and D were given the CFED along with ad libitum water, and daily oral supplementation of 65 or 130 mg/kg of body weight (BW) of SPCr, respectively. Group D showed the lowest low-density lipoprotein, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and blood glucose levels, and the highest HDL level compared to the other groups in this study. These results in the group fed high-dose SPCr demonstrated a significant effect compared to the group fed low-dose SPCr (p < 0.0001), as well as in total cholesterol and blood glucose (p < 0.05). Supplementation with SPCr was also observed to have an upregulation effect on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator (PGC)-1alpha, interleukin 10, Sirtuin 1, DDAH-II, superoxide dismutase (SOD) cardio, and AMPK, which was also followed by a downregulation of PRMT-1, TNF-α, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, and mTOR. Interestingly, gut microbiota modulation was also observed; feeding the rats with a cholesterol-enriched diet shifted the gut microbiota composition toward the Firmicutes level, lowered the Bacteroidetes level, and increased the Firmicutes level. A dose of 130 mg/kg BW of SPCr is the recommended dose, and investigation still needs to be continued in clinical trials with humans to see its efficacy at an advanced level.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective. The present study assessed the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) duration on the serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration in Bosnian patients.
Methods. Participants for this cross-sectional study were randomly selected from the Family Medicine Clinic (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina). Serum ADMA concentration was determined by ELISA. Serum high-sensitivity (hs-CRP) was determined by particle-enhanced immunonephelometry. ANOVA test followed by Scheffe post-hoc test or Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Man-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis.
Results. The study included 38 patients in up to 10 years diabetes duration (≤10 years T2DM) group, 22 patients in greater than 10 years diabetes duration (>10 years T2DM) group, and 60 controls. Serum ADMA concentration in the >10 years T2DM group (1.81±0.15 μmol/L) was significantly higher compared to serum ADMA concentration in the ≤10 years T2DM group (1.38±0.41 μmol/L; p<0.001) and in controls (0.62±0.15 μmol/L; p<0.001). A significant difference in serum ADMA concentration was found between the <10 years T2DM group and the controls (p<0.001). The serum CRP concentration in the >10 years T2DM group [5.95 (4.20–9.12) mg/L] was significantly higher compared to serum CRP concentration in the <10 years T2DM group [2.35 (1.40–4.30) mg/L; p<0.001] and controls [0.85 (0.50–1.30) mg/L; p<0.001]. Significant difference in serum CRP concentration was observed between the <10 years T2DM group and controls (p<0.001).
Conclusions. The present study showed an increase in the serum ADMA and CRP concentrations with the advancement of T2DM. These results suggest that ADMA and CRP may serve as indicators of endothelial dysfunction and chronic low-grade inflammation progression in patients with T2DM. Larger prospective studies are required to confirm the observed findings.

Abstract
Aim: The extent of the spread of inflammation determines the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methylated arginine residues (MAR), a type of inflammatory mediator, reduce nitric oxide levels and cause vasoconstriction-induced endothelial damage. This study aimed to investigate MAR and related amino acids during acute pancreatic inflammation.
Material and Method: This prospective, quasi-experimental study was conducted with patients diagnosed with AP and an age-matched control group. The patient samples were taken during the diagnosis and recovery time, whereas during the study for the control group. Mainly, Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), Arginine (ARG), Citrulline (CIT), and related chemicals were studied via a mass spectrometer.
Results: A total of 30 patients with AP (mean age=53.3±17.8) and 30 controls (mean age=53.4±18.0) were included in the study. All patients were identified as non-severe (n=8) and severe (n=22). A decrease was detected in the patients' ADMA levels compared to the control group (p=0.01). MAR did not differ concerning disease severity (p > 0.05). However, MAR levels decreased higher in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Between the two samplings, the ARG level and ARG to ADMA ratio increased, while the MAR and CIT to ARG ratio decreased.
Conclusion: Our results showed that MAR levels decreased with AP recovery. The start of a decrease in the high-level blood MAR may indicate the healing of pancreatic inflammation. AP inflammation may be more destructive in patients with diabetes or CKD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Smoking during pregnancy has harmful effects on the fetus and infant. Although some studies suggest that exposure to fetal-maternal smoking adversely affects both fetal growth and cardiovascular development, the mechanisms and biochemical consequences of smoking in pregnancy and newborns are not yet fully understood. We aimed to investigate whether maternal smoking during pregnancy causes fetal cardiovascular effect by measuring serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level and abdominal aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT). STUDY DESIGN This prospective study was conducted in newborns of smoking mothers and never-smoker control mothers during their pregnancies. The babies were evaluated echocardiographically on the first day following birth. In two-dimensional mode, abdominal aIMT measurements were performed. ADMA was measured in umbilical cord blood at birth. RESULTS There were 25 mothers in the study group and 25 mothers in the control group. Serum ADMA levels were 0.459 ± 0.119 μmol/L in the study group and 0.374 ± 0.1127 μmol/L in the control group (p = 0.034). The aIMT value in the study group was 0.84 ± 0.026 mm and the aIMT value in the control group was 0.63 ± 0.011 mm (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION We found that both the serum ADMA and the aIMT significantly increased in the group with newborns of smoker mothers compared with the group of the newborns of never-smoker mothers. It may also be suggested that exposure to fetal-maternal smoking adversely affects cardiovascular development. KEY POINTS · It is a known fact that smoking during pregnancy has harmful effects on the development of the fetus and infant.. · We found that both the serum ADMA and aIMT were significantly higher in the group of infants of smoker mothers..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and the risk of ischaemic stroke and carotid atherosclerosis in adults. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and other databases for relevant studies on serum ADMA and ischaemic stroke or carotid atherosclerosis, which were published from December 1980 to December 2019. The quality of the included studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane system evaluation standard. The difference in serum ADMA level between ischaemic stroke and control group was selected as the effect size (standardized mean difference, SMD). The pooled analysis was performed using Review Manager (V.5.3). RESULTS According to the selection criteria, thirteen studies were included in the meta-analysis after screening. Nine studies compared ADMA levels between the ischaemic stroke group and healthy control group, involving a total of 1315 and 880 subjects in the two groups, respectively. Pooled effect sizes were calculated using the random-effects model due to the high heterogeneity (I2 = 93%, P < .00001). The level of serum ADMA in patients with ischaemic stroke was significantly higher than that in healthy people (SDM = 0.69, 95% CI [0.32, 1.06], P = .0002). Seven of the thirteen articles compared ADMA levels between the carotid arteriosclerosis group and the healthy control group, with 559 and 330 subjects in the two groups, respectively. The random-effects model was applied due to the high heterogeneity (I2 = 91%, P < .00001). The level of serum ADMA in patients with carotid arteriosclerosis was significantly higher than that in healthy people (SDM = 1.03, 95% CI [0.49, 1.57], P = .0002). CONCLUSION The serum ADMA may be related to ischaemic stroke, and it is a risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing worldwide at an alarming rate. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent form of diabetes, accounting for approximately 90-95% of the total diabetes cases worldwide. Besides affecting the ability of body to use glucose, it is associated with micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications. Augmented atherosclerosis is documented to be the key factor leading to vascular complications in T2DM patients. The metabolic milieu of T2DM, including insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and release of excess free fatty acids, along with other metabolic abnormalities affects vascular wall by a series of events including endothelial dysfunction, platelet hyperactivity, oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation. Activation of these events further enhances vasoconstriction and promotes thrombus formation, ultimately resulting in the development of atherosclerosis. All these evidences are supported by the clinical trials reporting the importance of endothelial dysfunction and platelet hyperactivity in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular complications. In this review, an attempt has been made to comprehensively compile updated information available in context of endothelial and platelet dysfunction in T2DM.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have shown that Asymmetric Dimethyl Arginine (ADMA) is increased significantly during coronary artery diseases (CAD). However it is not clear either this increase is due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors or ADMA is increased independently in CAD. The aim of this study is to evaluate ADMA’s plasma level as an independent biomarker in CADs. Patients and methods: In current study a total of 165 subjects with no traditional CVD’s RFs, who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were recruited; 55 CAD+ patients which had more than 50% stenosis (CAD+); 55 CAD- patients which had less than 50% stenosis in their coronary arteries (CAD-), based on their angiography record and 55 healthy individuals as controls. CAD+ patients were divided into three groups: single (SVD), double (2VD), and triple vessel (3VD) disease. Plasma level of soluble ADMA was measured with an enzyme-linked immono sorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Results: No significant difference between ADMA’s plasma levels was found between CAD+, CAD- and healthy groups. In addition ADMA’s plasma levels was not significantly different between CAD+’s subgroups. Conclusions: The result of this study indicates no significant relation between ADMA’s plasma levels and either presence or severity of coronary artery stenosis. Therefore, it is presumed that ADMA may not be an independent biomarker for CADs. (www.actabiomedica.it)

Abstract
Background The cardiovascular benefits of statins have been proven, but their effect on circulation in small vessels has not been examined fully. We investigated the effect of 20 mg rosuvastatin on biomarkers, including paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and on microvascular reactivity. Method We enrolled 20 dyslipidemic patients with type 2 diabetes and 20 age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy controls. Rosuvastatin (20 mg/day) was given to the patient group for 12 weeks. Biochemical parameters, including PON-1 and ADMA, were compared between the patient and control groups, and before and after rosuvastatin treatment in the patient group. Fasting and 2 h postprandial levels of PON-1 and ADMA after mixed-meal challenge were also compared. Microvascular reactivity in a peripheral artery was examined using laser Doppler flowmetry. Results The respective mean ± standard deviation of age and BMI were 50.1 ± 3.8 year and 25.8 ± 3.7 kg/m2 in the patients and 50.2 ± 3.2 year and 25.4 ± 3.4 kg/m2 in the controls. The patient group had worse profiles of cardiometabolic biomarkers, including PON-1 and ADMA, than the controls. In the patients treated with 20 mg rosuvastatin, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol decreased from 147.2 ± 26.5 to 68.3 ± 24.5 mg/dL and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol increased from 42.4 ± 5.2 to 44.7 ± 6.2 mg/dL (both P < 0.05). Both fasting and 2 h postprandial levels of PON-1 increased and those of ADMA decreased after treatment with rosuvastatin for 12 weeks. The changes in postprandial levels of both biomarkers were greater than those after fasting. Microcirculation assessed as reactive hyperemia in the patients after an ischemic challenge increased significantly from 335.3 ± 123.4 to 402.7 ± 133.4% after rosuvastatin treatment. The postprandial changes in the biomarkers were significantly associated with improvement of microvascular reactivity. Conclusions Rosuvastatin treatment for 12 weeks improved microvascular reactivity with concomitant beneficial changes in the postprandial levels of PON-1 and ADMA. These results suggest that rosuvastatin improves the postprandial cardiometabolic milieu in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background To evaluate symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as risk markers of cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality and deterioration in renal function in a well characterised type 2 diabetic population with microalbuminuria and without symptoms of coronary artery disease. Methods 200 participants followed for 6.1 years. SDMA and ADMA were measured at baseline. Endpoints included (1) composite cardiovascular endpoint (n = 40); (2) all-cause mortality (n = 26); and (3) decline in eGFR of >30% (n = 42). Cox models were unadjusted and adjusted for traditional risk factors (sex, age, systolic blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, smoking, HbA1c, creatinine and urinary albumin excretion rate). To assess if SDMA or ADMA improved risk prediction beyond traditional risk factors we calculated c statistics and relative integrated discrimination improvement (rIDI). C statistic (area under the curve) quantifies the model’s improved ability to discriminate events from non-events. rIDI quantifies the increase in separation of events and non-events on a relative scale. Results Higher SDMA was associated with increased risk of all three endpoints (unadjusted: p ≤ 0.001; adjusted: p ≤ 0.02). Higher ADMA was associated with all-cause mortality (unadjusted: p = 0.002; adjusted: p = 0.006), but not cardiovascular disease or decline in eGFR (p ≥ 0.29).The c statistic was not significant for any of the endpoints for either SDMA or ADMA (p ≥ 0.10). The rIDI for SDMA was 15.0% (p = 0.081) for the cardiovascular endpoint, 52.5% (p = 0.025) for all-cause mortality and 48.8% (p = 0.007) for decline in eGFR; for ADMA the rIDI was 49.1% (p = 0.017) for all-cause mortality. Conclusion In persons with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria higher SDMA was associated with incident cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality and deterioration in renal function. Higher ADMA was associated with all-cause mortality. SDMA and ADMA significantly improved risk prediction for all-cause mortality, and SDMA for deterioration in renal function beyond traditional risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine associations between asymmetric (ADMA), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and ADMA:SDMA ratio with assessments of endothelial function and coronary artery perfusion in RA patients. METHODS ADMA and SDMA levels were measured in 197 RA individuals [144 (77.4%) females, median age: 66 years (quartiles: 59-73)]. Patients underwent assessments of microvascular endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent function, macrovascular endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent function and vascular morphology (pulse wave analysis, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), and carotid plaque). Coronary perfusion was assessed by subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR). RESULTS SEVR correlated with SDMA (r = 0.172, p = 0.026) and ADMA:SDMA (r = -0.160, p = 0.041) in univariable analysis, but not in multivariable analysis accounting for confounding factors. Neither ADMA:SDMA ratio nor SDMA were significantly correlated with microvascular or macrovascular endothelial function, or with arterial stiffness and cIMT. Within subgroup of patients (n = 26) with high inflammatory markers, a post-hoc analysis showed that SDMA and the ADMA:SDMA ratio were significantly associated with endothelium-dependent microvascular function in univariable analysis, with Pearson's r correlation coefficients of -0.440 (p = 0.031) and 0.511 (p = 0.011), respectively. Similar finding were established between ADMA:SDMA ratio and arterial stiffness in univariable analysis, with Pearson's r of 0.493, (p = 0.024). CONCLUSION Dimethylarginines were not found to be significantly associated with several assessments of vascular function and morphology in patients with RA, however, post-hoc analysis indicates that there may be associations in patients with raised inflammatory markers. Our results suggest that dysregulated NO metabolism may not be the sole mechanism for the development of preclinical atherosclerosis in RA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to verify the reference intervals of plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2, 3, and 9 and serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in a healthy population with an average age corresponding to that of patients with cardiovascular diseases. METHODS The study included 180 healthy volunteers. Plasma MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and serum ADMA levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. These levels were analyzed for association with age and gender. The Cbstat5, R software, and NCSS 2007 programs were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The average volunteer age was 47.4 years in the group in which MMP-3 and ADMA were analyzed, 40.3 years in the MMP-9 group, and 47.8 years for the MMP-2 group. Serum ADMA levels were determined to be independent of age and gender. Plasma MMP-2 levels were significantly correlated with age (p = 0.001), with lower levels detected in persons ≤ 49 years of age. Plasma MMP-3 was significantly associated with both age (p < 0.0001) and gender, with lower levels detected in persons of ≤ 47 years of age and among women. Plasma MMP-9 levels were not age dependent, but were associated with gender (p = 0.014), showing lower levels in women. CONCLUSIONS Reference intervals of heparin-plasma MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9 and serum ADMA levels were determined. MMP-2 and MMP-3 levels were found to be age dependent, and MMP-3 and MMP-9 levels were gender dependent.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) complications are an essential causal element of prospect in diabetes mellitus (DM), with carotid atherosclerosis being a common risk factor for prospective crisis of coronary artery diseases and/or cerebral infarction in DM subjects. From another point of view, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) has been established as an inhibitor of endogenous nitric oxide synthesis and the relationship between ADMA and arteriosclerosis has been reported. In our study with 87 type 2 DM (T2DM) patients, we have examined whether ADMA and other CV risk factors are the useful predictors of DMCV complications. After the measurement of the respective CV risk factors, we have followed the enrolled T2DM patients for 5 years. We have finally analyzed 77 patients. DMCV complications developed in 15 cases newly within 5 years, and 4 cases recurred. The concentrations of ADMA in plasma were markedly more elevated in 19 DM patients with CV complications than in 58 DM patients without CV complications. Urinary albumin (U-Alb), mean intimal-medial thickness (IMT) and ankle brachial index (ABI) were also higher in patients with CV complications. Multiple regression analyses showed that U-Alb had an influence on the high level of ADMA (standardized β = 6.59, P = 0.00014) independently of age, systolic BP, fibrinogen, mean IMT, plaque score, and ABI. The review indicates what is presently known regarding plasma ADMA that might be a new and meaningful biomarker of CV complications in DM subjects.
