Background: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) is a major cause of renal dysfunction that
acts through different mechanisms. We investigated the role of L-Arginine as an …

Background There is an interaction between many cell types involved in the
pathophysiology of ischemic acute renal failure. Nitric oxide (NO) precursors, especially l …

SUMMARY 1 The role of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and the nitric oxide (NO) substrate l‐
arginine in renal ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) has been studied extensively. However, the …

L-Arginine counteracts nitric oxide deficiency and improves the recovery phase of ischemic
acute renal failure in rats. Background In ischemic acute renal failure (ARF), nitric oxide …

Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO), synthesized from l-arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide
synthase (NOS), seems to play an ambiguous role during tissue ischemia–reperfusion …

Acute kidney injury is usually associated with distant organ dysfunction. The roles of
inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this …

Objective: To study the role of the L‐arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathway during renal
ischaemia‐reperfusion in rats. Design: Randomised experimental study. Setting: Teaching …

Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO) is a very important peripheral and renal vasodilator derived
from L-arginine in a reaction modulated by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We here analyze the …

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Direct and real-time measurement of nitric oxide (NO)
production has not been possible until recently because of its extremely short half-life …

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) as a vasodilator factor has renoprotective effect against renal
ischemia. The balance between angiotensin II (Ang II) and NO can affect kidney …
