effect of cysteine on arginase activity, effect of increasing concentrations of cysteine alone or in combination with iron (II) sulfate on the enhancement of arginase activity in human sickle erythrocytes or purified arginase-1 from Bos taurus liver
hydralazine
-
treatment with 20 mg/kg/day hydralazine for 5 weeks causes increased arginase activity in hypertensive rats
IL-4
-
interleukin IL-4, up to 16-fold stimulation of enzyme activity in RAW-264.7 cell, in combinantion with rolipram additional activation. No stimulation of enzyme in alveolar macrophages by IL-4 alone, but increase of stimulation by forskolin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, IBMX, in presence of IL-4

slowly enhances activity between 5 mM and 25 mM
spermine
-
1 mM, enhances arginase activity by 33%
TGF-beta

transforming growth factor, up to 5-fold stimulation, further stimulation in combination with rolipram
-
thrombin
-
thrombin receptor antagonist peptide
-
endothelial cell exposition to 10 U/ml thrombin receptor antagonist peptide for 4 h leads to increased arginase activity
