Abstract excerpt
L-Arginine (L-Arg) can serve as a substrate for the production of reactive nitrogen intermediates. One of these metabolites, nitric oxide, has been shown to possess significant antitumor properties in vitro. To investigate the importance of this system in vivo, we have examined the dietary L-Arg host tumor interaction in the chicken. Since chickens are incapable of de novo L-Arg synthesis, concentration of this...
