Increased cationic amino acid flux through a newly expressed transporter in cells overproducing nitric oxide from patients with septic shock.
Increased production of nitric oxide (NO) is thought to be a factor in the pathogenesis of many human diseases - among them the hypotension that often accompanies sepsis. The supply of the cationic amino acid arginine is known to be rate-limiting for NO production. We hypothesized that cationic amin...
