Arginine Promotes the Expression of Aquaporin-3 and Water Transport in Porcine Trophectoderm Cells Through NO- and cAMP-Dependent Mechanisms

Background: Dietary supplementation with L-arginine (Arg) has been shown to increase the volume of fetal fluids in gestating swine. Aquaporins (AQPs), known as water channel proteins, are essential for embryonic growth and development. It was not known if Arg mediates water transport through AQPs in...
