| nitroarginine | <chemical> An inhibitor of nitric oxide synthetase which has been shown to prevent glutamate toxicity. Nitroarginine has been experimentally tested for its ability to prevent ammonia toxicity and ammonia-induced alterations in brain energy and ammonia metabolites. (neurochem res 1995:200(4):451-6) Pharmacological action: enzyme inhibitors. (12 Dec 1998) |
