Correlations between homocysteine concentration with arginase type II activity and systolic blood pressure (SBP). A Correlation between homocysteine and arginase II activity. B Correlation between homocysteine and SBP. Control (open triangles), nonhypertensive (open circles), and hypertensive (black circles) rats. (Pearson’s r values, r2, and pi values correspond to the hypertensive rat group. No significant difference was found between the nonhypertensive rat group and the control group (n = 10 per group)
