L-Arginine
Based on 27 publication(s) in Google Scholar
L-Arginine ((S)-(+)-Arginine) is the substrate for the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to generate NO. L-Arginine is transported into vascular smooth muscle cells by the cationic amino acid transporter family of proteins where it is metabolized to nitric oxide (NO), polyamines, or L-proline. L-Arginine is a potent vasodilator, and can be used to induce experimental acute pancreatitis.

In Vitro
Arginine is an α-amino acid. The L-form is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. At the level of molecular genetics, in the structure of the messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA, CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG, are the triplets of nucleotide bases or codons that code for arginine during protein synthesis. In mammals, arginine is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid, depending on the developmental stage and health status of the individual[1].
L-Arginine is associated with a decrease in cardiac index. L-Arginine (450 mg/kg during a 15-minute period) amplifies and sustains the hyperemia (38%) and increases absolute brain blood flow after eNOS upregulation by chronic Simvastatin (HY-17502) (2 mg/kg; sc; daily for 14 days) in SV-129 mice[2][3].

Induced Disease Models
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.
Dose reference for L-Arginine induction[4][5]:
(1) Model animal: Male Wistar albino rats
Acute pancreatitis: single i.p. injection of 500 mg of L-arginine/100 g body weight
(2) Model animal: Male ICR mice
Acute pancreatitis: i.p. with 2.25 g/kg body weight of L-Arginine hourly for 2 hours
Dissolution method of L-Arginine[5]:
L-arginine solution was prepared by dissolving L-arginine powder in 0.9% normal saline and adjusting the pH to 7 with 5 N HCl.
Administration: 250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg every 100 g body weight • ip • single dose • starved for 15 hours
Administration: 450 mg/100 g body weight • ip • twice dosages • sacrificed at 72 hours
(2) Dissolution method in Reference: L-Arginine solution was prepared by dissolving L-Arginine powder in 0.9% normal saline and adjusting pH to 7 with 5N hydrochloric acid[5].
