Impact of the L-arginine-Nitric Oxide Pathway and Oxidative Stress on the Pathogenesis of the Metabolic Syndrome

Fig. (1). L-arginine-nitric oxide pathway NO=nitric oxide; NOS=nitric oxide synthase; GC=guanylase cyclase; GTP=guanosine triphosphate; cGMP=cyclic guanosine monophos-phate; ADMA=asymmetric dimethylarginine; L-NMMA.
