1 The objective of this study was to determine whether starting L-citrulline after the onset of pulmonary hypertension inhibits disease progression and improves NO production by recoupling endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). Citrulline nitric oxide synthase 3 Homo sapiens
2 NO production and eNOS dimer-to-monomer ratios were greater in pulmonary arteries from L-citrulline-treated than from untreated hypoxic animals but were lower than in normoxic controls. Citrulline nitric oxide synthase 3 Homo sapiens
3 When started after disease onset, oral L-citrulline treatment improves NO production by recoupling eNOS and inhibits the further development of chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn piglets. Citrulline nitric oxide synthase 3 Homo sapiens
