Application
- L-Arginine-Dependent Nitric Oxide Production in the Blood of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Pilot, Five-Year Prospective Study.: This study examines the role of L-Arginine in nitric oxide production in diabetic patients, proposing its potential benefits for managing vascular complications in diabetes (Stoian et al., 2024).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Substrate of nitric oxide synthase, which is converted to citrulline and nitric oxide (NO). Induces insulin release by a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.
