“In conclusion, according to our results it seems reasonable to postulate that arginine alters the cascade involved in the extracellular degradation of ATP to adenosine.”
“ Adenosine causes vasodilation of human placenta vasculature by increasing the transport of arginine via cationic amino acid transporters 1 (hCAT-1).”
“The present data show that ADO can inhibit PMN-activation in whole blood in the presence of R 75,231 or of other nucleoside transport inhibitors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)”

“Stimulation of adenosine accumulation could be of importance in mediating arginine antiatherosclerotic, vasoactive, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects.”
“Combination of arginine and adenosine provided further myoprotection with respect to better cardiac performance, lower release of cardiac troponin I, and smaller areas of hydropic changes compared with ARG and ADO groups.”
“The decrease in perfusion pressure in response to adenosine was 51.7 +/- 2.9, 135.2 +/- 6.1, and 16.7 +/- 2.4 mmHg, respectively, for control and after L-NAME and L-arginine.”
