Abstract
l-Arginine supplementation can restore normal endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and angiogenic response to vascular endothelial growth factor in a swine model of chronic myocardial ischemia with hypercholesterolemia-induced endothelial dysfunction. These findings suggest a putative role for l-arginine in combination with vascular endothelial growth factor therapy for end-stage coronary artery disease.
