Possible Interaction: Ng-Nitroarginine Methyl Ester and Calcium Supplement

“Inhibiting nitric oxide synthetase, using L-NAME , reduced the ability of high calcium levels to protect endothelial cell activation.”

“AA-… calcium entry and cell migration were significantly affected by both the NOS inhibitor N G-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester and the NO scavenger 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide, suggesting that NO release is functionally involved in the signaling dependent on AA.”

“ l-NAME treatment did not affect changes in smooth muscle [Ca(2+)](i) after depolarization, but it did increase the calcium sensitivity of the contractile apparatus.”

“ L-NA induces an increase in calcium entry through receptor modulated calcium channels, and because the inhibition of the synthesis of EDRF it would produce an increase in vascular tension.”

“Furthermore, L-NA was able to increase basal DA release, its effects being potentiated in calcium free medium.”

“Cr(VI) … by NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester … Ca and S while sodium nitroprusside either restored growth up to the control level or increased it in both vegetables, even … L-NAME, suggesting that NO might have a positive role in nutrients-mediated management/amelioration of Cr(VI) toxicity.”

“L-Arginine increased flow rate to 10%, total protein to 65%, and calcium to 17%, while L-NAME decreased flow rate to 9%, total protein to 55%, and calcium to 25%.”
