Is arginase a potential drug target in tobacco-induced pulmonary endothelial dysfunction?

BACKGROUND: Tobacco-induced pulmonary vascular disease is partly driven by endothelial dysfunction. The bioavailability of the potent vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) depends on competition between NO synthase-3 (NOS3) and arginases for their common substrate (L-arginine). We tested the hypothesis wher...
