<b>Assessment of proinflammatory cytokines and physiological parameters in male rats with L-arginine-induced enteritis</b>
Extended administration of L-arginine in rats induces enteritis, an inflammatory condition affecting both systemic and localised areas. Proinflammatory cytokines and calprotectin correlate with biochemical and histological markers of inflammation, indicating their utility as biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of enteritis. The findings indicate that L-arginine supplementation should be avoided in contexts associated with intestinal inflammation and underscore potential avenues for therapeutic intervention.
