The Ergogenic Potential of Arginine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is involved in protein synthesis, the detoxification of ammonia, and its conversion to glucose as well as being catabolized to produce energy. In addition to these physiological functions, arginine has been purported to have ergogenic potential. Athletes have taken arginine for three main reasons: 1) its role in the secretion of endogenous growth hormone; 2) its involvement in the synthesis of creatine; 3) its role in augmenting nitric oxide. These aspects of arginine supplementation will be discussed as well as a review of clinical investigations involving exercise performance and arginine ingestion.

The proposed or advertised ergogenic effect of many supplements is based on a presumptive metabolic pathway and may not necessarily translate to quantifiable changes in a variable as...

Of late, there has been a major increase in the marketing of sport nutraceuticals claiming to augment exercise performance and recovery due to their ability to increase nitric oxide (NO) release. NO is a labile molecule that is known to play a major role in regulating vasodilation, blood flow, platelet adhesion, immune system function, and mitochondrial respiration. Endogenous NO synthesis is c...
