L-arginine effects on cerebrovascular reactivity, perfusion and neurovascular coupling in MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes) syndrome.

<h4>Objective</h4>We previously showed that MELAS patients have decreased cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) (p≤ 0.002) and increased cerebral blood flow (CBF) (p<0.0026); changes correlated with disease severity and % mutant mtDNA (inversely for CVR; directly for CBF). We ran a prospec...
