Journal ArticleDOI
Arginine Nutrition and Cardiovascular Function
Guoyao Wu,Cynthia J. Meininger +1 more
TL;DR: Dietary Arg supplementation may represent a potentially novel nutritional strategy for preventing and treating cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary l-Arginine Supplementation Reduces White Fat Gain and Enhances Skeletal Muscle and Brown Fat Masses in Diet-Induced Obese Rats
Wenjuan S. Jobgen,Cynthia J. Meininger,Scott C. Jobgen,Peng Li,Mi-Jeong Lee,Stephen B. Smith,Thomas E. Spencer,Susan K. Fried,Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu +9 more
TL;DR: Dietary arginine supplementation shifts nutrient partitioning to promote muscle over fat gain and may provide a useful treatment for improving the metabolic profile and reducing body white fat in diet-induced obese rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Important roles for the arginine family of amino acids in swine nutrition and production
Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu,Guoyao Wu,Fuller W. Bazer,Teresa A. Davis,Teresa A. Davis,Laurie A. Jaeger,Greg A. Johnson,Sung Woo Kim,Sung Woo Kim,Darrell A. Knabe,Cynthia J. Meininger,Thomas E. Spencer,Yulong Yin,Yulong Yin +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that low availability of N-acetylglutamate in enterocyte mitochondria is responsible for limited synthesis of citrulline from both glutamine and proline in 7- to 21-day-old suckling piglets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoxide mediates reperfusion-induced leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions.
M. Suzuki,W. Inauen,Peter R. Kvietys,Matthew B. Grisham,Cynthia J. Meininger,M. E. Schelling,H. J. Granger,D. N. Granger +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that superoxide mediates reperfusion-induced leukocyte adherence and that endothelial cells are required for this superoxide-mediated adherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of coronary angiogenesis in response to stretch: role of VEGF and TGF-β
TL;DR: Cyclic stretch of cardiac myocytes and CMEC appears to be an important primary stimulus for coronary angiogenesis through both paracrine and autocrine VEGF pathways.
