Arginine-mediated dissociation of single cells and cell sheets from a polystyrene culture dish
Here, we report a novel non-enzymatic cell dissociation method, based on our finding that adherent cells dissociate rapidly from the polystyrene culture dish when incubated in an l- or d-arginine-containing solution.

Arginine and Lysine Transporters Are Essential for Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]
For Trypanosoma brucei arginine and lysine are essential amino acids and therefore have to be imported from the host. Heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants identified cationic amino acid transporters among members of the T.

Urea production and arginine metabolism are reduced in the growth restricted ovine foetus
Urea production may be impaired in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), increasing the risk of toxic hyperammonaemia after birth. Arginine supplementation stimulates urea production, but its effects in IUGR are unknown.

Differential sensitivity of basal and acetylcholine-induced activity of nitric oxide to blockade by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in the rat aorta [PDF]
<b>Background and purpose</b>: Previous work has shown that NG-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA) paradoxically inhibits basal, but not ACh-stimulated activity of nitric oxide in rat aorta.

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.

Cellular Uptake of Aminoglycosides, Guanidinoglycosides, and Poly-arginine
Aminoglycosides (including neomycin B and tobramycin) exhibit poor uptake by eukaryotic cell lines. When the amines of these natural products are converted into guanidine groups, their cellular uptake is dramatically enhanced.

Could L-Arginine Be a Feasible Treatment for Chronic Anal Fissure? [PDF]
Anal fissure is a common benign anorectal condition characterized by a small, painful ulcer in the skin of the anal canal below the dentate line, which gradually leads to spasm of the internal sphincter muscle.

In Situ Hydrogel-Forming Powders Containing Eutectic Mixture of Curcumin-Arginine as a Multi-Drug Delivery System for Wound Healing Applications [PDF]
Background: Curcumin (CUR) has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant bioactivities and is a promising molecule to treat chronic wounds. However, CUR shows limited oral bioavailability due to low aqueous solubility and dissolution, chemical ...

Plasmid DNA delivery using fluorescein-labeled arginine-rich peptides [PDF]
Arginine (Arg)-rich peptides exhibit an effective cell-penetrating ability and deliver membrane-impermeable compounds into cells. In the present study, three types of Arg-rich peptides, R9 containing nine Arg residues, (RRG)3 containing six Arg and three
