Serum nitric oxide, asymmetric dimethylarginine, and plasma homocysteine levels in active Behcet's disease

Abstract

Aim: Behcet's disease is a relapsing vasculitis characterized by endothelial dysfunction. This study was conducted to determine the levels of nitric oxide (NO) and 2 related parameters, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and homocysteine levels, in relation to the pathogenesis of Behcet's disease.
