Arginine in Asthma.

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Dr. Gary Pack

L-arginine is metabolized by the arginase enzyme and by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme. Abnormalities in the arginine and the arginase and nitric oxide synthase pathways can lead to airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR,) as seen in asthma. Exhaled levels of nitric oxide (NO) are elevated in asthma. Arginine therapy has been shown to be beneficial […]

L-Arginine in Airway Inflammation in Asthma.

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid. Sufficient arginine may not be available in asthma due to an imbalance between the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the arginase enzymes. A deficiency of arginine may cause the airway the hyperresponsiveness (AHR) seen in asthma. The arginase enzyme is increased in asthma. Nitric oxide (NO) is produced […]
