Airway inflammation and remodeling are major features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whereas pulmonary hypertension is a common comorbidity associated with a poor disease prognosis. Recent studies in animal models have indicated that increased arginase activity contributes to features
The inhibition of arginase by N?-hydroxy-L-arginine controls the growth of Leishmania inside macrophages

The ability of murine macrophage nitric oxide synthase (NOS) to utilize peroxides in place of O2 and NADPH was investigated using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), tert-butylhydroperoxide, and cumene hydroperoxide with both L-arginine and NG-hydroxy-L-arginine (L-NHA) as substrates. Of the three peroxides
l-Homoarginine (hArg) is biosynthesized from l-arginine (Arg) and l-lysine (Lys) by arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT). AGAT also catalyzes the formation of guanidinoacetate (GAA) from Arg and glycine (Gly). GAA is converted to creatine (N-methyl guanidinoacetate) by guanidinoacetate N-methyl-transferase (GAMT). Low circulating

The nitric oxide synthase-catalyzed conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline and nitric oxide is known to be the sum of two partial reactions: oxygenation of arginine to N-hydroxyarginine, followed by oxygenation of N-hydroxyarginine to citrulline and nitric oxide. Whereas the conversion
