l-Arginine and COVID-19: An Update [PDF]
Nutrients, 2021 l-Arginine is involved in many different biological processes and recent reports indicate that it could also play a crucial role in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Herein, we present an updated systematic overview of the current evidence on the functional contribution ...

L-Arginine and Atherothrombosis [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2004 L-arginine, the principal substrate for endothelial nitric oxide synthase, is oxidized to L-citrulline and nitric oxide. Endothelial dysfunction is associated with decreased bioactive nitric oxide production, an abnormality observed in atherothrombosis.

The Pharmacodynamics of L-Arginine [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2007 L-arginine is a precursor for nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. NO is a ubiquitous mediator that is formed by a family of enzymes named NO synthases. In the brain, NO acts as a neurotransmitter; in the immune system, NO acts as a mediator of host defense; and in the cardiovascular system, NO mediates the protective effects of the intact endothelium, acting ...

L-Arginine and Hypertension [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2004 Hypertension is a major healthcare problem afflicting nearly 50 million individuals in the United States. Despite its strong causal association with cardiovascular disease complications including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke, the majority of patients with hypertension do not achieve optimal blood pressure control.

Citrulline a more suitable substrate than arginine to restore NO production and the microcirculation during endotoxemia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Impaired microcirculation during endotoxemia correlates with a disturbed arginine-nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and is associated with deteriorating organ function.

l-Arginine in coronary atherosclerosis
International Journal of Cardiology, 2000 Nitric oxide is formed from the N-guanido terminal of the amino acid L-arginine and from molecular oxygen by nitric oxide synthase enzymes. L-arginine administration improves the coronary blood flow response to acetylcholine in patients with normal coronary arteries and hypercholesterolemia, reverses the defective endothelium-dependent vasodilation ...

Effect of L-arginine and L-Lysine HCl ratio on growth performance and ileum morphology of native chickens aged 2-14 weeks [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2022 Background and Aim: Micronutrients such as essential amino acids in chicken feed must be balanced to promote optimal development. The balance of the amino acids arginine and lysine in chicken feed is particularly important.
