Oral L-Arginine treatment attenuates Cryptococcus neoformans extrapulmonary dissemination and disease progression [PDF]

Virulence
Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen causing severe infections in immunocompromised individuals. Arginine metabolism is critical for immune regulation, but its precise role in cryptococcal pathogenesis is not well understood.

L-arginine dependence of breast cancer – molecular subtypes matter. [PDF]

BMC Cancer
L-arginine limits proliferation in highly proliferative tissues. It is a substrate for nitric oxide synthases, arginases; its methylation by protein-L-arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) leads to asymmetric (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA ...

Phenotypic characteristics of asthma and morbidity are associated with distinct longitudinal changes in L-arginine metabolism

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2023
Background The L-arginine metabolome is dysregulated in asthma, though it is not understood how longitudinal changes in L-arginine metabolism differ among asthma phenotypes and relate to disease outcomes.Objectives To determine the longitudinal ...

A novel strategy for l-arginine production in engineered Escherichia coli

Microbial Cell Factories, 2023
Background l-arginine is an important amino acid with applications in diverse industrial and pharmaceutical fields. n-acetylglutamate, synthesized from l-glutamate and acetyl-CoA, is a precursor of the l-arginine biosynthetic branch in microorganisms ...

Reduced L-Arginine and L-Arginine-ADMA-Ratio, and Increased SDMA after Norseman Xtreme Triathlon

Sports, 2021
Endothelial vasodilatory function is dependent on the NO synthesis from L-arginine by endothelial NO-synthetase (eNOS). eNOS can be inhibited by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) by competitive inhibition on the binding site, and symmetric ...

Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 Reduces Bleeding and Thrombocytopenia after Amputation in Rats Treated with Heparin, Warfarin, L-NAME and L-Arginine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
BPC 157 is a stable gastric pentadecapeptide recently implicated with a role in hemostasis. While NO is largely implicated in hemostatic mechanisms, in tail-amputation-models under heparin- and warfarin-administration, both the NO-synthase (NOS)-blocker,

Detrimental Effects of Chronic L-Arginine Rich Food on Aging Kidney

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The impaired L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway is a well-recognized mechanism for cardiovascular and renal diseases with aging. Therefore, supplementation of L-arginine is widely proposed to boost health or as adjunct therapy for the patients.

L-ARGININE PREVENTS ISCHEMIC INJURY IN EXPLANTED RAT INTESTINAL REGIONS IN AN EX VIVO PERFUSION MODEL

Transplantation Reports, 2022
Background: The small intestine is one of the most sensitive organs to ischemia. L-arginine has been shown to reduce damage from ischemia and reperfusion injury.

BPC 157, L-NAME, L-Arginine, NO-Relation, in the Suited Rat Ketamine Models Resembling “Negative-Like” Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Biomedicines, 2022
We attempted throughout the NO-system to achieve the particular counteraction of the ketamine-induced resembling “negative-like” schizophrenia symptoms in rats using pentadecapeptide BPC 157, and NO-agents, NG-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), and ...
