L-arginine in cardiovascular disease: dream or reality?

L-arginine in cardiovascular disease: dream or reality?

L-arginine is the substrate for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and the precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO). This amino acid exerts a number of actions in the cardiovascular system, mainly through the production of NO. However, it also has a number of NO-independent properties...
