L-citrulline supplementation reverses the impaired airway relaxation in neonatal rats exposed to hyperoxia

BACKGROUND: Hyperoxia is shown to impair airway relaxation via limiting L-arginine bioavailability to nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and reducing NO production as a consequence. L-arginine can also be synthesized by L-citrulline recycling. The role of L-citrulline supplementation was investigated in th...
