-arginine Supplementation Increased Only Endothelium-Dependent Relaxation in Sprague-Dawley Rats Fed a High-Salt Diet by Enhancing Abdominal Aorta Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression
Background: Abnormal vascular reactivity and reduced expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase ( eNOS ) gene are hallmark of salt-induced hypertension in rats. Although l -arginine is an established vasodilator, the mechanism by which it modulates vascular reactivity in salt-induced hypertensi...
