title: [The mechamism of L-arginine protective influence on the liver under ischemia - reperfusion conditions].
abstract: Previous investigations indicated a protective effect of L-arginine (300 mg/kg) against hepatic reperfusion injury. This was an investigation of the mechanism of this protective effect. The infusion of L-arginine under the conditions of inhibited NO synthesis (L-NAME, 10 mg/kg) significantly increased lipid peroxidation processes and transaminase activity and decreased antioxidant defense in postischemic liver. It is concluded that protective mechanism of L-arginine against hepatic reperfusion injury is associated with NO synthesis.
