Experimental studies have shown both therapeutic and detrimental consequences of modifying dietary L-arginine intake in renal diseases which likely reflect the complexity of L-arginine metabolism. L-Arginine intake is semi-essential and provides substrate for a number of L-arginine metabolites involved in renal pathology. Dietary L-arginine restriction has been identified as a key mediator of t...
OBJECTIVE Similarities between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atherosclerosis include endothelial dysfunction (an antecedent of plaque formation) and depletion of circulating bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that endothelial progenitor cell depletion and subclinical atherosclerosis in RA may be related to accumulation of an endoge...
N(omega)-Carboxymethyl-arginine (CMA), N(omega)-carboxyethyl-arginine (CEA) and N(delta)-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolon-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1) have been identified as L-arginine-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed by non-enzymatic reactions between reducing sugars such as glucose and amino groups in proteins. These AGEs are structurally analogous to endogenous inhibitors of n...
L-arginine is the essential precursor of nitric oxide, and is involved in multiple key physiological processes, including vascular and immune function. The genetic regulation of blood L-arginine levels is largely unknown. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic factors determining serum L-arginine levels, amongst 901 Europeans and 1,394 Indian Asians. We show tha...
BACKGROUND Constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) may produce species involved in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury: NO in the presence of sufficient L-arginine and superoxide at the diminished local L-arginine concentration accompanying I/R. METHODS AND RESULTS During hindlimb I/R (2.5 hours/2 hours), in vivo NO was continuously monitored (porphyrinic sensor), and L-arginine (chromatograp...
Whereas L-arginine is clearly recognized as the precursor for nitric oxide synthesis, and its entry into endothelial cells via system y(+) transport is established, few data exist regarding the acute regulation of this transport process. We specifically investigated the effect of ACh and isoprenaline (Iso) on L-arginine uptake in the human forearm and in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells...
BACKGROUND L-Arginine, the substrate of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, and N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), a competitive inhibitor of endothelial NO synthase, are used to analyze endothelial function of the renal vasculature. However, little is known about the appropriate dose of L-arginine to be used and the duration of action of L-arginine and L-NMMA. METHODS Twenty-nine healthy male subj...
L-arginine supplementation is proposed to improve health status or as adjunct therapy for diseases including cardiovascular diseases. However, controversial results and even detrimental effects of L-arginine supplementation are reported. We investigate potential mechanisms of L-arginine-induced detrimental effects on vascular endothelial cells. Human endothelial cells were exposed to a physiolo...
