Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid because even though the body normally makes enough of it, supplementation is sometimes needed. For example, people with protein malnutrition, excessive ammonia production, excessive lysine intake, burns, infections, peritoneal dialysis, rapid growth, urea synthesis disorders, or sepsis may not have enough arginine. Symptoms of arginine deficiency include poor wound healing, hair loss, skin rash, constipation, and fatty liver.
Arginine changes into nitric oxide, which causes blood vessel relaxation (vasodilation). Early evidence suggests that arginine may help treat medical conditions that improve with vasodilation, such as chest pain, clogged arteries (called atherosclerosis), coronary artery disease, erectile dysfunction, heart failure, intermittent claudication/peripheral vascular disease, and blood vessel swelling that causes headaches (vascular headaches). Arginine also triggers the body to make protein and has been studied for wound healing, bodybuilding, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention of wasting in people with critical illnesses.
Arginine hydrochloride has a high chloride content and has been used to treat metabolic alkalosis. This use should be under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease. The neurons responsible for movement begin to die and muscle control is progressively lost, leading to a fatal outcome.
The current study highlighted the antidepressant effects of dulaglutide using the CMS depression model. Notably, the potential metabolisms that underlie the antidepressant effect of dulaglutide have been elucidated in this study.
Chronic underhydration has been linked to severe long-term health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and kidney dysfunction, underscoring the need for increased hydration awareness and intervention strategies.
Research highlights the dietary significance and potential applications of fenugreek seeds, emphasizing their role in disease prevention, chronic condition management, and providing nutritional value, including their ability to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Researchers conducted clinical studies on murine animals and humans to evaluate the impact of high protein intake on the amino acid-mammalian target of the rapamycin complex 1 autophagy signaling pathway.
An innovative treatment significantly increases the survival of people with malignant mesothelioma, a rare but rapidly fatal type of cancer with few effective treatment options, according to results from a clinical trial led by Queen Mary University of London.
A genome-wide association study in the U.K. Biobank reveals genetic factors influencing IgG serostatus against SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the role of HLA class II genes in variable immune responses to COVID-19 vaccines.
A study in "Nutrients" reveals that sesame protein-derived peptides, Ala-Gly-Gly-Val-Pro-Arg and Ser-Thr-Ile-Arg, show effective antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Researchers explored the effects of a small humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2) variant on mitochondrial function.
Study reveals that gut microbiota from individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) can induce social fear behaviors in mice, suggesting a causal role of gut microbes in modulating behaviors relevant to SAD.
Study reveals that cytoglobin (cygb2) plays a crucial role in regulating cilia motility and organ laterality during development, highlighting its importance in NO signaling and cilia function.
Study explores immunoregulatory nanomedicines for respiratory infections, highlighting their potential in enhancing treatment outcomes and vaccine efficacy.
The trends in antimicrobial resistance in Greece.
Researchers developed a microneedle (MN) bandage containing selenium (Se) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) hybrid nanoparticles (SeC@PA) for diabetic wound therapy.
Study investigates the effects of a loss-of-function mutation in the OXR1 gene on neurodevelopment and cellular functions in the human brain. The research shows that OXR1 deficiency impairs neural differentiation, increases sensitivity to oxidative stress, and alters histone methylation, impacting brain development and potentially contributing to neurological disorders.
A lot of research has been done over many decades on diseases that are widespread in large parts of the population, such as cancer and heart disease. As a result, treatment methods have improved enormously thanks to long-term research efforts on diseases that affect many people.
