Association of arginine derivatives with the presence of atherosclerotic plaques.

OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval, adjusted for age, sex, smoking, WHR, and GFR.*OR for a 1 unit increase in serum ARG derivative concentration or ARG/ADMA ratio. cIMT indicates carotid intima-media thickness; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; eGFR, estimated-glomerular-filtration-rate; ADMA, asymmetric dimethylarginine; SDMA, symmetric dimethylarginine; ARG, ˪-Arginine; DMA, dimethylarginine; ARG/ADMA, Arginine-asymmetrical dimethylarginine ratio.Association of arginine derivatives with the presence of atherosclerotic plaques.
