Transgenic Mice Expressing Human Arginase II Gene in Endothelium: Useful for Studying Atherosclerosis and Other Vasculopathies
Cardiovascular disorders associated with endothelial dysfunction, like atherosclerosis, have decreased endothelial nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. L-arginine, the primary substrate for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), is important in the regulation of NO production. Arginase competes with eNOS for L-arginine and has been implicated in...

Use of Arginase in Plant Protection Against Herbivores
IntroductionInsect pests are a major cause of damage to the world’s commercially important agricultural crops. Current strategies aimed at reducing crop losses rely primarily on chemical pesticides. Transgenic crops with intrinsic pest resistance offer a potential alternative.Description of TechnologyMichigan State University’s invention...
