In this podcast, we talk to Dr Rosanne Jepson, senior lecturer in internal medicine here at the RVC about SDMA (symmetric dimethylarginine). I did not know until the end of this recording that Rosanne published on SDMA back in 2008 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18371026). What is it and how to use it. It seems that there will be lots more coming out about this in the next few years. Enjoy the pod.
