Improvement of cardiac dysfunction by L-arginine combined with vitamin C through restoring angiogenesis associated with NADPH/NOS/NO signal pathway in diabetic rats
Abstract:Background
In diabetic patients, the occurrence of ischemic events such as myocardial infarction is significantly higher than that of normal patients. L-arginine and vitamin C are commonly used adjuvant drugs in clinical practice. But whether L-arginine and vitamin C can be used together, the role of promoting angiogenesis to improve vascular dysfunction and its mechanism of action are not clear. To this end, we investigated whether L-arginine in combination with vitamin C promotes revascularization after myo… Show more
