1. L-Arginine is the substrate for vascular nitric oxide (NO) formation. Under normal physiological conditions, intracellular L-arginine levels far exceed the Km of NO synthase for Larginine. However, endogenous NO formation is dependent on extracellular L-arginine concentrations, giving rise to the concept of the ‘L-arginine paradox’. 2. Nitric oxide production in epithelial and endothelial cells… Continue reading Role of L-Arginine in Nitric Oxide production in health and hypertension.
