L arginine

Manufactured by Sangon
Sourced in China

L-arginine is an amino acid that plays a critical role in various physiological processes. It is an essential component of proteins and participates in the urea cycle, which helps remove excess nitrogen from the body. L-arginine is also involved in the production of nitric oxide, which helps maintain healthy blood flow and circulation. As a lab equipment product, L-arginine can be used in research and scientific applications that require this important amino acid.

For the IMQ-induced mouse model of psoriasis, male C57BL/6 mice (7 weeks-of-age) purchased from Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co. (Shanghai, China) were maintained under SPF conditions. The mice were subjected to a daily topical dose of 62.5 mg IMQ cream (5%) (MedShine cat. 120503) on the shaved back or 20 mg per ear for six consecutive days. On the indicated days, the skin thickness was measured with a micrometer (Schieblehre). The control mice were treated with an equivalent dose of vehicle cream. For the metabolite treatment, L-Arginine (Sangon Biotech cat.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
