hyperargininemia/glutathione

Hyperargininemia is a metabolic disorder biochemically characterized by tissue accumulation of arginine and other guanidino compounds. Convulsions, lethargy and psychomotor delay or cognitive deterioration are predominant clinical features of this disease. Although neurologic symptoms predominate in

In the present investigation, we initially evaluated the in vitro effect of N-acetylarginine on thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS), total sulfhydryl content and on the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase

We investigated the in vitro and in vivo effects of arginine (Arg) on thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS) and on the activities of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in renal tissues of rats. We also studied the influence of antioxidants

Hyperargininemia is an inherited neurometabolic disorder biochemically characterized by tissue accumulation of arginine and clinically by severe neurological symptoms whose pathophysiology is poorly understood. In the present study we investigated the effect of arginine administration on the

In the present study, we evaluated the in vitro effects of homoarginine (hArg) at 1, 10 and 20 µM on thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS), total sulfhydryl content and on the activity of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase
