Additional differences: 
levels ↑ during treatment; + correlation with improvement of endothelial function (RH-PAT index) within 48h; baseline LDH was associated with a more rapid ↑ in plasma L-arginine concentrations; baseline plasma arginase activity was associated with a slower recovery of plasma L-arginine
