Nitric oxide production in activated macrophages from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus): influence of dietary arginine and culture media

1999-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have demonstrated that fish macrophages produce NO which plays a significant role in macrophage killing of microorganisms. The sole precursor for NO is the amino acid arginine. To elucidate the mechanisms which regulate NO production in these cells we examined the effects of increasing levels of dietary arginine on the induction of NO synthesis in macrophages from channel catfish. Additionally, the...
