Mouse plasma levels of arginine after surgery or trauma (ST). C57BL/6 male mice were subjected to ST or control anesthesia only. Levels of arginine in plasma were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (A) (*P < .05 vs control group) and correlation of arginase activity and arginine levels in mice at baseline and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after ST (B) (P < .01 of correlation arginine vs arginase activity; Pearson correlation coefficient = −0.92). Data displayed as mean ± SEM, n = 3 per group of 2 independent experiments.
