Kidney Mass Reduction Leads to l‐Arginine Metabolism‐Dependent Blood Pressure Increase in Mice
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018 BackgroundUninephrectomy (UNX) is performed for various reasons, including kidney cancer or donation. Kidneys being the main site of l‐arginine production in the body, we tested whether UNX mediated kidney mass reduction impacts l‐arginine metabolism and

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Interaction between NO and oxytocin: Influence on LHRH release
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 Nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons have been localized in various parts of the CNS. These neurons occur in the hypothalamus, mostly in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei and their axons project to the neural lobe of the pituitary gland.

Cascading reaction of arginase and urease on a graphene-based FET for ultrasensitive, real-time detection of arginine [PDF]
, 2018 Herein, a biosensor based on a reduced graphene oxide field effect transistor (rGO-FET) functionalized with the cascading enzymes arginase and urease was developed for the detection of L-arginine.

Arginine Metabolism Revisited.
Journal of NutriLife, 2016 Mammalian arginine metabolism is complex due to the expression of multiple enzymes that utilize arginine as substrate and to interactions or competition between specific enzymes involved in arginine metabolism.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Effect of Basic Amino Acids on Folic Acid Solubility
Pharmaceutics, 2023 To prevent neural tube defects and other cardiovascular diseases in newborns, folic acid (FA) is recommended in pregnant women. A daily dose of 600 µg FA consumption is widely prescribed for women during pregnancy and 400 µg for women with childbearing ...
