Possible Interaction: Arginine and Nitrous Oxide

“A recently proposed mechanism for N2O analgesia suggests that it stimulates the uptake of L-arginine at pre-synaptic nerve terminals where the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme converts it to nitric oxide (NO) [5].”

“After feeding rats with l‐arginine for some time, both the activity of NOS and the content of cGMP increased significantly in penile tissue (P < 0.001), while there was no obvious change in the content of ET‐1.”

“ l‐arginine had significant effect on increasing the activity of NOS and the content of NO and cGMP, indicating that l‐arginine has potential clinical value to be used in treating ED.”

“The changes of the narG community structure with HC treatment contributed to the increased N2O emission.”

“Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the N2O reduction rate was significantly and negatively correlated with narG (r = -0.679, P < 0.05).”

“The R and R+DCD treatments significantly (P<0.05) reduced the N2O emissions under FP by 38.1% to 48.8% and 49.5% to 62.0%, across the three rotational periods, although their mitigation efficiencies were highly variable among different vegetable seasons.”

“A significant correlation between annual N2O emissions and narG , nirS, and nirK gene numbers indicates that the abundance of these genes is related to N2O emission under conditions for denitrification, thus partly contributing to the annual N2O emissions.”
