Featured Article: Arginine
Arginine is an α-amino acid and the L-form, the only form involved in protein synthesis, one of the 20 most common natural amino acids in proteins. Adult humans can synthesize arginine in sufficient quantities, via the urea cycle. However, infants are unable to effectively synthesize arginine, making it nutritionally essential for infants. Argenine is used as a dietary supplement, promoting the healing of wounds, improvement of the immune response, and treating people with chronic heart failure and conditions where vasodilation is required (such as high blood pressure).
