Abstract Background and Aims Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is an inherited, complex disease, cystogenesis phenotypic changes in this disorder being not yet fully understood. Recently, arginine, important for renal cells metabolism, was proved to play role ADPKD physiopathology (1). The inability of recycle or synthesize intracellular arginine through the urea cycle define...

background: at present, surgery is the best method for chronic anal fissure, but by acquiring more knowledge about the pathogenesis and function of internal anal sphincter, non surgical treatment such as using of glycerin trinitrate, isosorbide, bethancol, diltiazem and butilinum toxin has been suggested. there is controversy about using of l-arginine. the aim of the present study was to compar...

introduction: the prevalence of hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes (t2d) is approximately twice as much as healthy people. this study was designed to determine the effect of l-arginine supplementation on blood pressure in patients with t2d. methods: in a double-blind randomized clinical trial, 75 t2d were randomly divided into three groups (3 g/d and 6 g/d of l-arginine and placebo) ...

Background: There is fine correlation between the infertility and lessening of endometrial thickness. In this study the effects of sedative naloxone, and L-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide (NO), on endometrial thickness of rat uterus was examined. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats (weighing 200-250 g) in Diestrous phase received intra-peritoneal (i.p.) 1. single L-arginine (50 mg/kg), 2...
