A functional variant of the dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-2 gene is associated with insulin sensitivity.

<h4>Background</h4>Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which was associated with insulin resistance. Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) is the major determinant of plasma ADMA. Examining data from the DIAGRAM+ (D...
