Arginase strongly impairs neuronal nitric oxide-mediated airway smooth muscle relaxation in allergic asthma

BACKGROUND: Using guinea pig tracheal preparations, we have recently shown that endogenous arginase activity attenuates inhibitory nonadrenergic noncholinergic (iNANC) nerve-mediated airway smooth muscle relaxation by reducing nitric oxide (NO) production – due to competition with neuronal NO-syntha...
