L-arginine - NO [nitric oxide] system and the humoral immune response in the rats

The results indicate that L-arginine produces a dose-dependent effect on the humoral immune response in the rat. The biological activity of L-arginine is at least partly due to release of nitric oxide. Therefore, it can be assumed that nitric oxide affects the processes connected with specific immun...

Summary:The results indicate that L-arginine produces a dose-dependent effect on the humoral immune response in the rat. The biological activity of L-arginine is at least partly due to release of nitric oxide. Therefore, it can be assumed that nitric oxide affects the processes connected with specific immunity. Further research is necessary, particularly with specific inhibitors of nitric oxide. synthase, in order to elucidate the possible role of nitric oxide in the specific immune response.
