Arginine Impairs Endothelial And Executive Function In Older Subjects With Cardiovasculr Risk

Neurovascular coupling, the relationship between cerebral blood flow and neuronal activity, is attenuated in patients with impaired executive function. We tested the hypothesis that peripheral vascular function may associate with executive function in older subjects with cardiovascular risk factors, and that treatment with the antioxidant L-arginine would improve both vascular and executive function.
