Arginine Promotes the Expression of Aquaporin-3 and Water Transport in Porcine Trophectoderm Cells Through NO- and cAMP-Dependent Mechanisms

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022
Background: Dietary supplementation with L-arginine (Arg) has been shown to increase the volume of fetal fluids in gestating swine. Aquaporins (AQPs), known as water channel proteins, are essential for embryonic growth and development.

Regulation of arginine transport by GCN2 eIF2 kinase is important for replication of the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

, 2019
Toxoplasma gondii is a prevalent protozoan parasite that can infect any nucleated cell but cannot replicate outside of its host cell. Toxoplasma is auxotrophic for several nutrients including arginine, tryptophan, and purines, which it must acquire from ...
