The decrease in both platelet aggregation and blood viscosity after L-arginine was significantly amplified after metformin.
metformin treatment, the decrease … blood pressure after L-arginine infusion was significantly enhanced, with a maximal decrease of sBP of 12 ± 3.4 mmHg (8 ± 2.5 mmHg pretreatment, P < 0.05) and dBP of 9.5 ± 2.4 mmHg (4.5 ± 1.9 mmHg pretreatment, P < 0.01).

Treatment of SHR aortic smooth muscle (SM) cells with metformin (2 micrograms/mL) for 24 h significantly decreased (P < .05) arginine vasopressin- and thrombin- stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i.

However, the addition of lysine or arginine significantly stimulated the metformin uptake by NIH 3T3 cells.
Similarly, the addition of metformin stimulated the arginine uptake by these cells, suggesting that metformin shares the y+ transport system.
