Abstract: A method for treating a subject who would benefit from increased nitric oxide production comprising administering inhibitors of Hmg-CoA-Reductase is disclosed for the treatment of diseases related to endothelial dysfunction.
Abstract: Vessels are treated with a mixture of L-arginine and an agent which enhances the biotransformation of L-arginine into NO. The incidents associated with restenosis are expected to be substantially reduced and prevented providing for a reduced incidence of restenosis as a result of the injury.
Abstract: A therapeutic mixture comprised of L-arginine and angiogenic growth factors is disclosed for the treatment of diseases related to endothelial dysfunction.
Abstract: A therapeutic mixture comprised of L-arginine and inhibitors of Hmg--CoA-Reductase is disclosed for the treatment of diseases related to endothelial dysfunction, wherein the endothelial dysfunction is relieved by stimulating the constitutive form of nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) to produce native nitric oxide (NO).
