Arginine and nitric oxide synthase: Regulatory mechanisms and cardiovascular aspects

l‐Arginine (l‐Arg) is a conditionally essential amino acid in the human diet. The most common dietary sources of l‐Arg are meat, poultry and fish. l‐Arg is the precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO); a key signaling molecule via NO synthase (NOS). Endogenous NOS inhibitors such as asymmetr...
