ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic mixture comprised of L-arginine and inhibitors of Hmg--CoA-Reductase is disclosed for the treatment of diseases related to endothelial dysfunction, wherein the endothelial dysfunction is relieved by stimulating the constitutive form of nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) to produce native nitric oxide (NO).
