Nitric Oxide Bioavailability in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Interplay of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine and Free Radicals

Figure 2

Oxidative stress and high ADMA levels can cause endothelial dysfunction in OSA. ADMA: asymmetric dimethylarginine; eNOS: endothelial nitric oxide synthase; NO: nitric oxide; ONOOāˆ’: peroxynitrite; OSA: obstructive sleep apnea; ROS: reactive oxygen species.
