The prevention of endothelial dysfunction through endothelial cell apoptosis inhibition in a hypercholesterolemic rabbit model: the effect of L-arginine supplementation

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2008
Background The impact of L-arginine on atherogenesis and its ability to prevent endothelial dysfunction have been studied extensively during the past years.

Effects of L-arginine and L-NAME on ischemia-reperfusion in rat liver [PDF]

open access: yesActa Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2015
PURPOSE: To evaluated the effects of L-arginine (a NO donor) and L-NAME (Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester - a NOS inhibitor) on ischemia-reperfusion in rat livers.METHODS: One hundred fifty two male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control ...

Deprivation of L-Arginine Induces Oxidative Stress Mediated Apoptosis in Leishmania donovani Promastigotes: Contribution of the Polyamine Pathway. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
The growth and survival of intracellular parasites depends on the availability of extracellular nutrients. Deprivation of nutrients viz glucose or amino acid alters redox balance in mammalian cells as well as some lower organisms.

L-arginine as a novel target for clinical intervention in inflammatory bowel disease

open access: yesExploration of Immunology, 2021
Arginase-1 (Arg1) and the inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) compete for the common substrate L-arginine, semi-essential amino acid, and central intestinal metabolite.

L-Arginine Utilization by Pseudomonas Species [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 1984
The utilization of arginine was studied in several different Pseudomonas species. The arginine decarboxylase and agmatine deiminase pathways were found to be characteristic of Pseudomonas species of group I as defined by Palleroni et al. (1974).

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

The effect of L-arginine on guinea-pig and rabbit airway smooth muscle function in vitro

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
We have investigated the effects of L-arginine, D-arginine and L-lysine on airway smooth muscle responsiveness to spasmogens in vitro. Both L-arginine and D-arginine (100 mM) significantly reduced the contractile potency and maximal contractile response ...

Catabolism of l-Arginine by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 1980
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to break down arginine by the arginine deiminase pathway. An additional pathway has now been found whereby arginine is converted to putrescine with agmatine and N-carbamoylputrescine as intermediates. The following enzyme activities belonging to this pathway were detected in crude extracts: arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
