L-arginine and thrombosis.
To the Editor: Kapostza et al1 reported that the administration of L-arginine (the precursor of nitric oxide synthesis) after surgery resulted in a highly significant reduction in the frequency of embolic signals after carotid endarterectomy in patients who were already being treated with aspirin and heparin. Patients with carotid artery disease usually suffer from coronary atherosclerosis. The...
متن کاملL-arginine improves endothelial vasoreactivity and reduces thrombogenicity after thrombolysis in experimental deep venous thrombosis.
PURPOSE Nitric oxide (NO) is important in regulation of platelet aggregation, endothelial function, and intravascular thrombosis. The purposes of this study were to assess the effect of thrombolysis on endothelial function in a porcine model of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and to evaluate the effect of NO precursor l-arginine on endothelial function after thrombolytic therapy. METHODS DVT was...
متن کاملL-arginine and Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and loss of cognitive and memory functions. Although the exact causes of AD are still unclear, evidence suggests that atherosclerosis, redox stress, inflammation, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and impaired brain energy metabolism may all be associated with AD pathogenesis. Herein, we ...
متن کاملL-arginine and cardiovascular system.
L-arginine is a basic endogenous amino acid. Its significant metabolic role as the product of ammonia detoxification, the urea cycle metabolite, the precursor of proteins, ornithine, urea and creatinine, and the amino acid involved in the formation of active enzyme centers was very well established. The current interest in this amino acid refers mainly to its close relation with an important si...
متن کاملL-Arginine Monograph
Introduction L-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid involved in numerous areas of human physiology, including production of nitric oxide (NO) – a key messenger molecule involved in vascular regulation, immune activity, and endocrine function. Arginine is also involved in protein production, wound healing, erectile function, and fertility. Arginine is not considered essential because humans c...
