About eight decades have passed since a serendipitous laboratory breakthrough by Dr. Fleming meant that the scourge of bacterial infections could be treated efficaciously and economically. Since then important advances have been made in treating selected viral infections (especially HIV and hepatitis C chronic infections) but the medical community is still researching a treatment for viral infections as wide-ranging and economical as penicillin was for bacterial infections. Here we describe our…

A dissection of SARS-CoV2 with clinical implications (Review)

TLDR
The options for medical treatment are brought to the forefront and new interventions are proposed, including the use of amiodarone, simvastatin, pioglitazone and curcumin, based on literature and experience.

Immunoregulatory effects of L-arginine and therapeutical implications.

TLDR
This review will emphasizes some effects of L-arginine on immune cell functions, including triggering of L -argininine-nitric oxide and arginase pathways, its biological properties and therapeutical applications.

Hepatitis C Virus Glycoproteins Mediate Low pH-dependent Membrane Fusion with Liposomes*

TLDR
Findings clearly indicate that HCV infection is mediated by a pH-dependent membrane fusion process, and paves the way for future studies of the mechanisms underlying HCV membrane fusion.

Arginine stimulates lymphocyte immune response in healthy human beings.

TLDR
It is concluded that supplemental dietary arginine is a safe nutritional stimulator of lymphocyte immune reactivity in healthy human beings and could not be duplicated in vitro by increasing theArginine concentration in the culture medium.

Arginine enhances wound healing and lymphocyte immune responses in humans.

TLDR
Assessment of the effect of oral arginine supplementation on human collagen synthesis and T-cell function and lymphocyte mitogenesis in response to phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A suggests thatArginine may be of clinical benefit in improving wound healing and immune responses.

Arginine pathways and the inflammatory response: Interregulation of nitric oxide and polyamines: Review article

TLDR
A model whereby agmatine has the potential to serve in the coordination of the early and repair phase pathways of arginine in the inflammatory response by acting as a gating mechanism at the transition from the iNOS/NO axis to the arginase/ODC/polyamine axis is proposed.

The nitric oxide pathway: is L-arginine a gate to the new millennium medicine? A meta-analysis of L-arginine effects.

TLDR
LA exerts favorable effects in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disorders associated with endothelial dysfunction, atherogenesis and thrombosis, and is gaining a prominent position as a part of the therapeutic arsenal in the management of LA-NO pathway-related disorders.

Cellular and physiological effects of arginine.

TLDR
Arginine has many effects in the body that include modulation of immune function, wound healing, hormone secretion, vascular tone, insulin sensitivity, and endothelial function and mediates its effects via nitric oxide independent and dependent pathways.

A randomized clinical trial with two doses of a omega 3 fatty acids oral and arginine enhanced formula in clinical and biochemical parameters of head and neck cancer ambulatory patients.

TLDR
Omega 3 and arginine enhanced formulas improved blood protein concentrations and lymphocyte levels in ambulatory postoperative head and neck cancer patients, and a high dose ofArginine and omega 3 fatty acids formula improved weight, too.
