About this document
Arginine by prishix is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses arginine and its role in immunity and inflammation. Arginine can be metabolized by either inducible nitric oxide synthases (iNOS) or arginase 1 in myeloid cells, depending on the type of immune response. Myeloid suppressor cells that express arginase 1 have been found in trauma, sepsis, infections and cancer, where they may deplete arginine and suppress T cell function. Maintaining adequate arginine levels is important for immune function.
