Does amino acid-based peritoneal dialysis solution stimulate mesothelial nitric oxide production?
Peritoneal mesothelial cells generate NO in vitro. Generation of NO increased further in response to L-arginine supplementation of the culture medium and to amino acid-containing dialysis solution. Mesothelial cells express eNOS, which was likely involved in the observed peritoneal NO generation.
Psychological distress was associated with having traumatic or no memories of an index event. Amnesia for the event did not protect against PTSD; however, it does appear to protect against the severity and presence of specific intrusive symptoms.
