Does arginase I and II overexpression modulate nitric oxide, polyamine, and proline syntheses in bovine coronary venular endothelial cells?
Arginase I and II expression in endothelial cells modulates arginine metabolism, reducing nitric oxide synthesis while increasing polyamines and proline, with potential implications for cardiovascular function.
