The Importance of Erythrocyte Arginase Activity In Acute Myocardial

Arginase (L-Arginine amidinohydrolase; EC 3.5.3.1), the final enzyme in theurea cycle, is responsible for the detoxification of ammonia in the liver of themammalian. In extrahepatic mammalian tissues, arginase is believed to supply thecell with ornithine, a crucial metabolite in biosynthesis of glut...
