19. Studied thoracic aorta from ApoE-/- mice, and found the high-cholesterol diet (HCD) induced an increase in arginase activity, a decrease in NO release and an increase in reactive oxygen species generation that was reversed by treatment with PG. PMID: 23443634
20. Arginase II is upregulated in aortic vessels of aged mice and contributes to decreased nitric oxide generation and increased reactive oxygen species production via endothelial nitric oxide synthase uncoupling. PMID: 22854495
21. A novel mechanism has been uncovered for mutual positive regulation between S6K1 and Arg-II in endothelial inflammation and aging. PMID: 22928666
22. IL-13 contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension via an IL-13receptor alpha2-arginase 2-dependent pathway. PMID: 23125252
23. inhibition of Arg2 increases L-arginine levels, diminishes ROS production and ameliorates nitrate tolerance PMID: 22288373
24. In diabetes models, kidney Arg2 increases as diabetes develops (but not in diabetic Arg2-deficient mice). Increase in kidney arginase activity is associated with loss of renal function; such function loss is not seen in diabetic Arg2-deficient mice. PMID: 21926276
25. Data suggest that the in vivo source for the essential urea utilized by H. pylori urease is neither bacterial arginase nor host arginase II; instead, either residual host arginase I or agmatinase is probably responsible. PMID: 21876618
26. data implicate Arg2 in neurodegeneration during retinopathy of prematurity; deletion significantly improves neuronal survival and function, possibly through the regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability mediated apoptosis during retinal ischemia PMID: 21811615
