Abstract
The experimental data about the shift of L-arginine metabo-
lism in the direction of activization of non-oxidizing (arginase)
way under experimental diabetes mellitus are presented. This
shift was proved by an increase of the ratio of arginase and
NO-synthase activity and an increase of the ratio of their
metabolites. The decrease of the free L-arginin contents in
tissues of animals with experimental diabetes mellitus is shown.
The long infusion of L-arginine results in the restoration of the
endothelial function, however cessation of infusion results in a
gradual reduction of this effect.
