Dietary arginine fails to protect against cerebrovascular damage in stroke-prone hypertensive rats.

Abstract:

:Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) develop severe hypertension and cerebrovascular lesions. We investigated the influence of dietary supplementation with L-arginine, an amino acid precursor of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, on blood pressure and stroke in these rats. L-Arginine, administered in the saline drinking solution at 2 or 6 g/l starting at 8.7 weeks of age, was without effect on blood pressure, cerebrovascular lesions, or longevity despite continuous treatment through 14 weeks of age. These findings do not support a beneficial influence of dietary arginine in the cerebrovascular pathology of SHRSP.
