    Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 64:260-4. 2006
    ..However, the mechanisms underlying this action are still unknown. It has recently been suggested that DHEA-S could delay atheroma formation through an increase in nitric oxide (NO) production...
  2. ncbi Long-term N-acetylcysteine and L-arginine administration reduces endothelial activation and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes
    Valentino Martina
    Department of Internal Medicine, University of Torino, Corso Dogliotti 14, I 10121 Torino, Italy
    Diabetes Care 31:940-4. 2008
    ..For this reason, we tested the effects of l-arginine (ARG) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration in increasing NO bioavailability by reducing free radical formation...

    Andi Masha
    Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolism, University of Torino, C so A M Dogliotti 14, 10126, Torino, Italy
    Curr Pharm Biotechnol 12:1354-63. 2011
    ..Therefore the treatments proposed are based on the possibility to counteract the oxidation and, in this context, the physiopathological mechanisms strongly support the treatment with thiols...
  4. ncbi Transdermal oestradiol replacement therapy enhances platelet constitutive nitric oxide synthase activity in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus
    Valentino Martina
    Department of Internal Medicine, University of Turin, Italy
    Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 57:371-5. 2002
    ..To determine whether treatment with transdermal oestrogen replacement therapy (TERT) in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus was able to increase the activity of constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) in platelets...
  5. ncbi Ghrelin secretion is inhibited by glucose load and insulin-induced hypoglycaemia but unaffected by glucagon and arginine in humans
    Fabio Broglio
    Division of Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Erasmus University of Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 61:503-9. 2004
    ..On the other hand, ghrelin secretion is not associated with the GH response to ITT or arginine, indicating that the somatotroph response to these stimuli is unlikely to be mediated by ghrelin...
  6. ncbi Ghrelin and synthetic growth hormone secretagogues are cardioactive molecules with identities and differences
    Andrea Benso
    Department of Clinical and Biological Sciences, University of Turin and San Luigi Hospital, Orbassano, Turin, Italy
