Role of Arginase 2 as a potential pharmacological target for the creation of new drugs to correct cardiovascular diseases [PDF]

open access: yesResearch Results in Pharmacology, 2020
Introduction: The review provides relevant information about arginase 2, the role of this enzyme in the formation of endothelial dysfunction and, as a consequence, the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Correction of morphofunctional disorders of the cardiovascular system with asialized erythropoietin and arginase II selective inhibitors KUD 974 and KUD 259 in experimental preeclampsia [PDF]

open access: yesResearch Results in Pharmacology, 2020
Introduction: Preeclampsia remains one of the most common causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. A significant role in the pathogenesis of this pathology is assigned to placental ischemia and endothelial dysfunction.

Proteomic identification of mitochondrial targets of arginase in human breast cancer. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We have previously reported arginase expression in human breast cancer cells and demonstrated that the inhibition of arginase by N(ω) hydroxy L-arginine (NOHA) in MDA-MB-468 cells induces apoptosis. However, arginase expression and its possible molecular

Arginase activity - a marker of disease status in patients with visceral leishmaniasis in ethiopia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The underlying mechanisms resulting in the profound immune suppression characteristic of human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) are not fully understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that arginase, an enzyme associated with immunosuppression, is higher in ...

Arginase from kiwifruit: properties and seasonal variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The in vitro activity of arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) was investigated in youngest-mature leaves and roots (1-3 mm diameter) of kiwifruit vines (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa) during an annual growth cycle, and enzyme from root material partially purified.

Endothelial arginase II and atherosclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yesKorean J Anesthesiol, 2011
Atherosclerotic vascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. While it is a complex condition resulting from numerous genetic and environmental factors, it is well recognized that oxidized low-density ...

Effect of arginase II on L-arginine depletion and cell growth in murine cell lines of renal cell carcinoma

open access: yesJournal of Hematology & Oncology, 2008
Background L-arginine is the common substrate for the two isoforms of arginase. Arginase I, highly expressed in the liver and arginase II mainly expressed in the kidney.

Local increase of arginase activity in lesions of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ethiopia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease that is in Ethiopia mainly caused by the parasite Leishmania aethiopica. This neglected tropical disease is common in rural areas and causes serious morbidity.

Age-related alteration of arginase activity impacts on severity of leishmaniasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: The leishmaniases are a group of vector-borne parasitic diseases that represent a major international public health problem; they belong to the most neglected tropical diseases and have one of the highest rates of morbidity and mortality. The

Arginase activities and global arginine bioavailability in wild-type and ApoE-deficient mice: responses to high fat and high cholesterol diets. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Increased catabolism of arginine by arginase is increasingly viewed as an important pathophysiological factor in cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis induced by high cholesterol diets.
