Arginase expression modulates nitric oxide production in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

BACKGROUND: Arginase is an enzyme that converts L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, an essential substrate for the polyamine pathway supporting Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis replication and its survival in the mammalian host.
