... and the release of asymmetric dimethylarginine, an inhibitor of NO synthase, may therefore affect NO synthesis in patients with sepsis. The objective of the present study was to investigate whole-body in vivo arginine and citrulline metabolism and NO synthesis rates, and their relationship to protein breakdown...

...Cornelis H. C. DEJONG; Carlo F. M. WELTERS; Nicolaas E. P. DEUTZ; Erik HEINEMAN; Peter B. SOETERS 1. Arginine can be produced in the kidney from citrulline. An important source of circulating citrulline is the intestinal breakdown of glutamine. Consequently, partial enterectomy leads to decreased...

... argininosuccinate and arginine appeared more slowly than expected on simple precursor-product models. 2. In the patient with argininosuccinic aciduria, simultaneous ingestion of [ 15 N]-ammonium lactate and [ carbamoyl - 14 C]citrulline gave very different ratios of labelling with the two isotopes for urinary urea...
