Nitric Oxide and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

The present study was done to confirm that nitric oxide (NO) levels are truly low in chronic kidney disease as suggested by previous studies. The animals used in this study had glomerulonephritis caused by the immune system. The subjects were followed for the course of the illness with testing for proteinuria and testing for NO […]

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 […]

Anti-Angiogenesis Review.

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Dr. Gary Pack

Angiogenesis is a normal process of forming new blood vessels. It takes place in growth, menstrual cycles, healing, etc. It is necessary for cancers to grow and to metastasize. It occurs in macular degeneration and hinders the vision. Blockers of angiogenesis are beneficial in cancer, macular degeneration and other disease processes. Dr. Judah Folkmann studied […]

Polyamines in Food and Ferments.

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Dr. Gary Pack

Spermidine, spermine, putrescine, cadaverine, agmatine and histamine are natural chemicals found in food. They are known as polyamines*, which are essential to normal cell processes. Polyamines are believed to be made of amino acids and are increased by fermentation. Putrescine can be produced from the amino acid ornithine. Polyamines are made by cells and they […]
