“However, … of L-arginine … TPL was significantly improved, e.g. the Work Index=(left ventricular developed pressure x heart rate) recovered to 92+/-1.6% (L-arginine …+/-2.9% (L-arginine) and 53.3+/-4.3% (TPL) of the pre-ischemic value; mean+/-SEM, N=10, P<0.001.”
“The combined … of L-arginine … TPL reduces the negative effects of NO by either inhibiting the production of ONOO(-) or through reaction with CO(3)z.rad;(-) and *NO(2) radicals formed during the decomposition of peroxynitrite in the presence of bicarbonate, thus promoting cardioprotection following post-ischemic reperfusion.”
