the biosynthetic precursor of nitric oxide, creatine, agmatine,
proline, homoarginine and polyamines. In chapter One of this book,
the reasons for and the possible advantages and disadvantages of
nutritional arginine supplementation are critically discussed in
the light of established biochemical results. Chapter Two
summarises the position and importance of the L-arginine in nitric
oxide homeostasis, disbalance of which can be one of the causes of
many acute and chronic diseases. Chapter Three provides a brief
overview of L-arginine and cardiometabolic health. Chapter Four
discusses the use of novel synthetic biodegradable arginine-rich
implantable biomaterials and devices for human body repair and
reconstruction. Chapter Five reviews beneficial effects of
L-arginine supplementation in controlling blood pressure. Chapter
