Regulation of nitric oxide-mediated cytotoxic function of macrophages : role of L-arginine consuming enzyme arginase /

In microphages, L-arginase is utilized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) to form nitric oxide (NO) and L-citrulline and by arginase to form urea and L-ornithine. NO derived from the NOS pathway serves as a major device for microphages to exert their cytotoxic effect. Since the availability of L-arginas...
