Why the study?
Does oral L-arginine supplementation improve endothelial function and vascular elastic properties during the acute phase of smoking?
Does oral L-arginine supplementation improve endothelial function and vascular elastic properties during the acute phase of smoking?
Oral L-arginine supplementation may mitigate acute smoking-induced endothelial injury and improve arterial performance.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports acute L-arginine use in smokers; extends endothelial protection evidence to dynamic exposure settings.
Oral L-arginine improves endothelial function and vascular elastic properties of the arterial tree during the acute phase of smoking, an effect accompanied by reduced sICAM-1 levels in these subjects.
