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

Local increase of arginase activity in lesions of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ethiopia. [PDF]
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]
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]
Increased catabolism of arginine by arginase is increasingly viewed as an important pathophysiological factor in cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis induced by high cholesterol diets.
