“Mutation of these highly conserved arginines , including a replication of the prevalent MMACHC missense mutation, Arg161Gln, disrupts GSH binding and dealkylation.”
“More importantly, the probe revealed that NO induced by interferon-γ (IFN-γ), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and l-arginine (l-Arg) could also elicit the augmentation of intracellular GSH.”
“The present study demonstrates that the supplementation of l-arginine stimulates GSH synthesis and activates Nrf2 pathway, leading to the up-regulation of ARE-driven antioxidant expressions via Nrf2-Keap1 pathway.”

“ L-arginine significantly decreased serum creatinine, BUN and GSH (p ≤ 0.05) and caused significant elevation in liver enzymes and NO (p ≤ 0.05), and also in MDA levels (p ≤ 0.001) in liver tissues.”
“On the other hand, L-arginine significantly decreased pulmonary artery pressure and both tissue and perfusate glutathione levels, but it increased both tissue and perfusate MDA levels.”
