As yet, it has not been possible to pinpoint the exact site of injury to the L-arginine nitric oxide pathway. The defect may lie with the surface receptors, signal transduction, L-arginine deficiency, nitric oxide synthase, tolerance of smooth muscle, physical obstruction to the diffusion of nitric oxide by a thickened intima, or impaired guanylate cyclase activation. However, endogenous guanylate cyclase can be activated by exogenously administered nitric oxide to relax smooth muscle, even when unresponsive to acetyl-...

Experimental deficiencies of histidine (93) and arginine (94) failed to induce negative nitrogen equilibriiun. However a deficiency of histidine gave rise to a biochemical defect and the arginine deficiency gave rise to an anatomical lesion these observations are discussed in detail in a later section.
