Effects of arginase inhibition on myocardial Ca2+ and contractile responses
Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is thought to increase cardiac contractility by increasing cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) during excitation. Alternatively, NO could increase the sensitivity of the contractile response to [Ca2+]cyt (Ca2+ sensitivity). Arginase regulates NO production by competin...
