*    Introduction
 
Nitric oxide release from the endothelium plays an important role in regulation of vascular tone,1 inhibition of both platelet and leukocyte aggregation and adhesion,1 2 and inhibition of cell proliferation.3 These properties suggest that the level of NO production by the endothelium may play a pivotal role in the regulation of vascular disease. Analysis using mass spectrometry has revealed that NO is produced by NOS from the terminal guanidino nitrogen of the precursor amino acid L-arginine.4 Thus, utilization of L-arginine and conversion to NO may establish a regulatory site in the development of endothelial dysfunction.

Endothelial dysfunction is characterized by defective endothelium-dependent relaxation, and some reviews regarding endothelial dysfunction in diabetes have been published.5 6 7 8 These reviews have focused on factors that might contribute to defective relaxation, some of which will not be addressed in detail in this review. The purpose of the present review is to summarize evidence that specifically supports either decreased NO production by diabetic vascular endothelium and/or impaired NO-mediated endothelium-dependent relaxation. Second, this review provides reasonable alternatives to explain some of the controversies in this research area. Third, since there is growing evidence that arginine appears to have some benefits for diabetes-associated abnormalities, this review summarizes the current state of knowledge of effects of acute and chronic administration of L-arginine on diabetes-induced endothelial dysfunction and discusses potential NO-dependent and -independent mechanisms whereby therapeutic intervention with L-arginine might benefit the diabetic endothelium.
