Hypoxia plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondrial enzyme arginase type II (Arg-II) is reported to lead to endothelial dysfunction and enhance the expression of endothelial inflammatory adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In this study, we investigate the role of Arg-II in...
