N-nitro-arginine (NNA) is known to exhibit stereoselective pharmacokinetics in which D-NNA has a faster clearance rate than L-NNA in anesthetized rats, and D-NNA undergoes unidirectional chiral inversion. It was postulated that chiral inversion of D-NNA was performed in a two-step pathway by D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) followed by an unidentified transaminase. Such chiral inversion contributes ...

BACKGROUND Very few data are available from the literature on whether nonatopic subjects affected by persistent rhinitis may show the appearance of objective symptoms of rhinitis after the ingestion of food additives such as tartrazine (E102), erythrosine (E127), monosodium benzoate (E211), p-hydroxybenzoate (E218), sodium metabisulphite (E223), and monosodium glutamate (E620). It is still uncl...
