Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary l-Arginine Supplementation Enhances Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthesis in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
TL;DR: Dietary L-arginine supplementation stimulates endothelial NO synthesis by increasing BH(4) provision, which is beneficial for vascular function and glucose homeostasis in diabetic subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid determination of nitrite by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
TL;DR: Because NAT is well separated from DAN and other fluorescent components present in biological samples, the HPLC method offers the advantages of high sensitivity and specificity as well as easy automation for quantifying picomole levels of nitrite and nitrate in cell culture medium and biological samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis and bioavailability in endothelial cells.
TL;DR: New know ledge about the cellular and molecular mechanisms for the regulation of endothelial BH4 synthesis and bioavailability is beneficial for developing effective means to prevent and treat cardiovascular disorders, the leading cause of death in developed nations.
Journal Article
Mast cells and angiogenesis.
TL;DR: Understanding the role of mast cells in angiogenesis may provide avenues for intervening in and manipulating the neovascularization process.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Fat Feeding and Dietary L-arginine Supplementation Differentially Regulate Gene Expression in Rat White Adipose Tissue

TL;DR: HF diet and Arg supplementation differentially regulate gene expression to affect energy-substrate oxidation, redox state, fat accretion, and adipocyte differentiation in adipose tissue, providing a molecular mechanism to explain a beneficial effect of Arg on ameliorating diet-induced obesity in mammals.
