The influence of short-term L-arginine supplementation on rats' muscular and hepatic cells in ischemia-reperfusion syndrome.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Due to the complex mechanisms of L-arginine activity, it is difficult to determine the clinical significance of supplementation with this amino acid. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of short-term supplementation with L-arginine in stress conditions, induced by ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, by assessing the damage to muscular and hepatic cells on the basis of creatine kinase (CK), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and aspartic aminotransferase (AspAT) activity in blood and the level of oxygen free radicals in analyzed tissues of rats. We observed that induced ischemia of hind limb caused an increase in CK, ALAT and AspAT activity and an increase in the level of free radicals in liver, but not in skeletal muscle. Supplementation with L-arginine led to a reduction in serum activity of CK and AspAT and reduction of the level of free radicals in analysed tissues. Simultaneous supplementation with L -arginine AND L-NAME resulted in a reversal of changes induced by L-arginine supplementation in the case of AspAT and free radicals in skeletal muscle. The results indicate that under conditions of ischemia-reperfusion, short-term administration of L-arginine has a protective effect on skeletal muscle manifesting itself by reduction of CK in the serum and reduction of free radicals level in THIS tissue.
