Protective Effect of L-Arginine in Experimentally Induced Myocardial Ischemia: Comparison With Aspirin

Objective: Coronary artery diseases including myocardial ischemia (MI) remain one of the leading causes of death worldwide. This study was designed to compare the protective effect of L-arginine versus aspirin from the biochemical changes associated with MI injury. Experimental design: Four groups of male New Zealand white rabbits were investigated. Normal group (n = 8) rabbits were fed standard chow pellets, untreated MI group (n = 16), where...
