L-citrulline increases arginase II protein levels and arginase activity in hypoxic piglet pulmonary artery endothelial cells
The L-arginine precursor, L-citrulline, re-couples endothelial nitric oxide synthase, increases nitric oxide production, and ameliorates chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn pigs. L-arginine can induce arginase, which, in turn, may diminish nitric oxide production. Our major pur...
