Regulatory role for the arginine–nitric oxide pathway in metabolism of energy substrates

WS Jobgen, SK Fried, WJ Fu, CJ Meininger… - The Journal of nutritional …, 2006 - Elsevier
Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from l-arginine by NO synthase in virtually all cell types.
Emerging evidence shows that NO regulates the metabolism of glucose, fatty acids and amino …

Regulatory role of arginase I and II in nitric oxide, polyamine, and proline syntheses in endothelial cells

H Li, CJ Meininger, JR Hawker Jr… - American Journal …, 2001 - journals.physiology.org
Endothelial cells (EC) metabolize l-arginine mainly by arginase, which exists as two distinct
isoforms, arginase I and II. To understand the roles of arginase isoforms in EC arginine …

[HTML][HTML] Dietary L-arginine supplementation reduces fat mass in Zucker diabetic fatty rats

…, J Hu, W Shi, TE Spencer, RJ Carroll, CJ Meininger… - The Journal of …, 2005 - Elsevier
This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that dietary supplementation of arginine,
the physiologic precursor of nitric oxide (NO), reduces fat mass in the Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF…

Regulation of nitric oxide synthesis by dietary factors

G Wu, CJ Meininger - Annual review of nutrition, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized from L-arginine by NO synthase (NOS). As an
