L-Arginine is a basic amino acid that is an essential amino acid in the human body. It can catalyze the ornithine cycle, promote the formation of urea, and turn the ammonia in the human body into non-toxic urea. It is the substrate of endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide that is produced under the catalysis of synthetase 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, central nervous system and peripheral transmission.
It is suitable for hepatic coma with increased blood ammonia, especially for patients with alkalosis. Used to assist in determining the function of the pituitary gland. Oral for male infertility caused by insufficient semen secretion and lack of sperm. It can also be used to supplement arginine in infants and young children.
1. Combined with sodium glutamate and potassium glutamate, it can increase the efficacy.
2. It can make the intracellular potassium move to the outside of the cell, and spironolactone can reduce the potassium excretion of the kidney, and the combination of the two can cause hyperkalemia.
3. Since estrogen can induce the increase of growth hormone, patients who use estrogen supplement therapy or oral estrogen-containing contraceptives, when applied to the pituitary function test, may have a false increase in growth hormone level, thereby interfering with the pituitary gland Function judgment.
