Impaired nitric oxide bioavailability and L-arginine reversible endothelial dysfunction in adults with falciparum malaria.
Severe falciparum malaria (SM) is associated with tissue ischemia related to cytoadherence of parasitized erythrocytes to microvascular endothelium and reduced levels of NO and its precursor, l-arginine. Endothelial function has not been characterized in SM but can be improved by l-arginine in cardi...
