L-Arginine Analysis Service

L-Arginine is an important semi-essential amino acid that plays multiple physiological roles. It is involved in protein synthesis and is a precursor for nitric oxide (NO), which is critical for vasodilation, immune response, and neurotransmission. L-Arginine also plays a key role in the urea cycle, helping eliminate ammonia from the body. Additionally, its metabolites, including ornithine, citrulline, and creatine, are essential for cell proliferation, wound healing, and energy metabolism. Precise analysis of L-arginine and its metabolites is crucial for understanding their roles and metabolic pathways in the body.
