OBJECTIVE
Postabsorptive plasma citrulline concentration has been proposed as a reliable marker of small bowel absorptive capacity in short bowel patients. The aim of this study was to address the potentially confounding impact of intestinal inflammation.
METHODS
Fifty-five patients were selected
In type 2 diabetes (T2D) macrophage dysfunction increases susceptibility to infection and mortality. This may result from the associated decreased plasma concentration of arginine, an amino acid that plays an important role in immunity. In vitro, increasing arginine availability leads to an
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of citrulline (Cit), glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) on synovial cells, which are primarily involved in inflammatory joint diseases. The combined effect of Cit, GlcN and GlcNAc on synovial cell
Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent endocrine disorder worldwide. Citrulline is an α-amino acid, which is abundant in watermelon, and a precursor of arginine and nitric oxide. Decreased bioavailability of nitric oxide is associated with insulin resistance. The present systematic review OBJECTIVE
Several researchers have found that plasma citrulline could be a marker of reduced enterocyte mass. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between plasma citrulline and bowel inflammation and/or disease location in pediatric and adolescent Crohn's disease (CD)
BACKGROUND
The amino acid arginine plays a key role in many metabolic processes in health and disease. Low arginine concentrations are found in various illnesses in children.
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to investigate the relation between plasma concentrations of arginine (and precursor amino acids)
OBJECTIVE
Hypocitrullinemia has been suggested to be a prognostic factor for patients in intensive care. The aim of this ancillary study of the Corticosteroids and Intensive Insulin Therapy for Septic Shock prospective study was to investigate plasma L-citrulline concentrations and its relationship
Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is a life-threatening emergency accompanied by inflammation and organ damage. We compared the mechanisms and the effects of arginine, citrulline, and glutamine on inflammation and intestinal damage.
Male Wistar rats underwent 60 minutes of superior
Pharmacological studies have implicated the spinal activation of excitatory amino acids, nitric oxide, and prostaglandins systems in the development of tactile and thermal hypersensitivity and central sensitization after peripheral inflammation. In the present study, using a chronically placed loop
The present study was designed to determine the modulatory effects of arginine and citrulline dietary supplementation on the immune condition and inflammatory response of European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax. Four diets were manufactured: a control diet (CTRL) was formulated to meet the
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of citrulline (Cit) supplementation on inflammatory markers and liver histopathology in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this clinical trial, fifty NAFLD patients were assigned to receive 2 g/day Cit or OBJECTIVE
To analyse the inflammatory mediators, including monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), in blood samples donated years before onset of rheumatoid arthritis. Previously, it has been shown in these individuals that antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) detectable
Citrulline is a non-standard amino acid that can be incorporated into proteins only by post-translational modification of arginine by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes during a variety of biologic processes, including inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune
