L-Arginine Enhances Oral Keratinocyte Proliferation under High-Glucose Conditions via Upregulation of , , and .

High glucose inhibits oral keratinocyte proliferation. Diabetes can lead to delayed oral wound healing and periodontal disease. L-Arginine, one of the most versatile amino acids, plays an important role in wound healing, organ maturation, and development.

High Glucose Induces Late Differentiation and Death of Human Oral Keratinocytes.

Keratinocytes are essential cells for wound repair. Impaired oral wound healing is common in diabetic patients with periodontal disease. High glucose, or hyperglycemia, impairs the cellular function of different cell types.
