The function and source of L-Arginine

L-Arginine, with the chemical formula C6H14N4O2 and molecular weight of 174.20, is an amino acid compound. It participates in the ornithine cycle in the body and promotes the formation of urea so that ammonia produced in the body is converted into non-toxic urea by the ornithine cycle and excreted by the urine, thus reducing the blood ammonia concentration. There is a high concentration of hydrogen ions, which helps to correct the acid-base balance in the case of hepatic encephalopathy. Together with histidine and lysine, L-Arginine is a basic amino acid.

The function of L-Arginine

Derived from hydrolysates of proteins (e.g. gelatin) separated by ion exchange resin or barium hydroxide. L-Arginine is usually made into hydrochloride, but it is also stable in the free state, so it is also sold as a free product. It can also be made from sugar as raw material by fermentation.

1. Used in biochemical research, various kinds of liver coma and viral liver glutathione transaminase abnormalities.

2. L-Arginine is used as a nutritional supplement and flavoring agent. GB 2760-2001 stipulates that it is a permitted spice for food.

3. L-Arginine is an essential amino acid for the growth and development of infants and children. It is an intermediate metabolite of the ornithine cycle, which can promote the transformation of ammonia into urea, thus reducing the blood ammonia level. It is also the main component of sperm protein, which has the function of promoting sperm production and providing energy for sperm movement. In addition, the static injection of L-Arginine, which stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, can be used in pituitary function tests.

4. L-Arginine is an essential amino acid in the human body that catalyzes the ornithine cycle and promotes the formation of urea, which turns ammonia in the body into non-toxic urea. It is a substrate for the endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide, which is catalyzed by synthase enzymes and exerts physiological effects. This biochemical process is called the nitric oxide pathway. Nitric oxide plays an important role as an intercellular messenger and neurotransmitter in the cardiovascular system and central nervous and peripheral transmission.

L-Arginine is an amino acid encoded in protein synthesis, which the body requires for many functions. For example, it stimulates the body to release certain chemicals, such as insulin and human growth hormone. L-Arginine also helps remove ammonia from the body and promotes wound healing. It is also required for the body to produce creatine. Nitric oxide is produced when L-Arginine is broken down, thus dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow. Normally, the body produces enough L-Arginine on its own. However, when insufficient, it can be supplemented by eating foods rich in arginine. L-Arginine can be found in any protein-containing food such as meat, poultry, cheese products, fish, etc. Foods rich in arginine include almonds, walnuts, dried sunflower kernels, dark chocolate, chickpeas, melons, peanuts, raw lentils, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, red meat (moderate), cashews, salmon, pies fruits, soybeans, and walnuts.
