Product Description
Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride has been used:
• to study the effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor against neurotoxicity in rat cortical neurons
• to study its effect on far-infrared (FIR) enhanced microcirculation of rat skin
• to study its effect on leptin-induced regulation of myokine fibronectin type III domain containing five/irisin in murine myocytes and fat cells
• to study its effect on the levels of arginine Vasotocin and neuronal nitric oxide synthase mRNA levels in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus of rat
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as arginine and derivatives. These are compounds containing arginine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of arginine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom.
