  1. The data are represented as averages ± SD. ADMA, NG, NG-dimethyl-L-arginine; MMA, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine; SDMA, NG,NG’-dimethyl-L-arginine; MDA, malondialdehyde. aTwo-tailed t-test was used to compare measured concentrations of analytes in MDS patients with healthy donors. Statistical significance coding: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001.
