What is L-Arginine CAS 74-79-3?
L-arginine is the coding amino acid in protein synthesis, and the body needs it to perform multiple functions. It is a precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) and plays an important role in regulating blood pressure. Nitric oxide is produced when L-arginine is decomposed, thus it can dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow. It also participates in the ornithine cycle in the human body, which can convert the ammonia produced in the body into non-toxic urea through the urine cycle and be excreted from the body, thereby reducing the concentration of ammonia in the blood. It also participates in important processes such as protein anabolism and polyamine synthesis.
L-Arginine CAS 74-79-3 Use
Nutritional supplements: They are non-essential amino acids for adults, but their generation rate in the body is relatively slow. They are essential amino acids for infants and young children. It can be added as a nutritional supplement to various foods and health products to supplement L-arginine needed by the human body.
Pharmaceutical raw materials
Reducing blood ammonia: After combining with blood ammonia, it forms urea and is excreted from the body, thereby effectively reducing blood ammonia levels and alleviating the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy.
Promote wound healing: It can promote the proliferation of fibroblasts and contribute to the formation of granulation tissue, accelerating the wound healing process.
Boosting immunity: By enhancing the function of immune cells, it improves the body's immunity and effectively prevents the occurrence of infections.
Improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular functions: It can promote the synthesis of nitric oxide, has the effects of dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood circulation, and can effectively prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Others: It can be used to treat certain specific diseases, such as congestive heart failure and cystitis, etc. Arginine hydrochloride is mainly used for hepatic encephalopathy and is suitable for patients who are sensitive to sodium. It is also applicable for the treatment of mental symptoms caused by increased blood ammonia due to other reasons.
Food additives: Used as nutrients, flavorings, and food flavorings.
Biochemical research: It is the basic component of various proteins and an important research object in biochemical research.
