L-Arginine L-pyroglutamate

L-Arginine L-pyroglutamate, also known as pirglutargine and arginine pidolate, is the L-arginine salt of pyroglutamic acid. Arginine pyroglutamate is a delivery form of pyroglutamate, a naturally occurring amino acid that can be derived from vegetables, fruit, dairy products and meat. Arginine has been widely used because of its role in synthesis of urea, nitric oxide (NO), and creatine. This makes arginine and related amino acids useful in treating insufficiencies of the urea cycle (e.g. hyperammonemia in liver failure, insufficiensies in NO production, and inborn errors of creating synthesis involving defects in arginine: glycine amidinotransference and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase.

The ability of arginine to stimulate the pancreatic and pituitary axis has been used to alleviate growth retardation in children and to promote growth hormone release in endurance athletes or body builders.

Physical and chemical properties

L-Arginine L-pyroglutamate is a crystalline solid powder with a sour taste. It is easily soluble in cold water.

Hazards

The compound is hazardous in case of ingestion and inhalation in the concentrated, pure form. It is slightly hazardous in case of skin and eye contact (irritant). ***

Uses for L-Arginine

L-arginine's role in the body's production of nitric acid, a potent vasodilator, has prompted studies to determine how it might help in treating illnesses and disorders that improve when blood vessels relax. MayoClinic.com reports that preliminary findings from those studies confirm that L-arginine is useful in treating coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis or clogged arteries, chest pain, congestive heart failure, erectile dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease and vascular headaches. Because the amino acid triggers the body's production of protein, L-arginine also may find applications in the healing of wounds, increasing sperm production and inhibiting the wasting process in patients with critical illnesses. ****

Arginine

Arginine plays an important role in cell division, the healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones.

Arginine, taken in combination with proanthocyanidins or yohimbine, has also been used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.

L-arginine is considered a sign of a healthy endothelium.

Arginine

Tissues culture studies have shown the suppression of viral replication when the lysine to arginine ratio in vitro favors lysine.

The therapeutic consequence of this finding is unclear, but dietary arginine may affect the effectiveness of lysine supplementation.

Although there haven't been thorough studies, some sources claim that arginine helps release prolactin, an estrogenic compound which is associated with lactation, and like all estrogenic compounds may curb the secretion of testosterone.

As a precursor

Arginine is the immediate precursor of NO, urea, ornithine and agmatine; is necessary for the synthesis of creatine; and can also be used for the synthesis of polyamines (mainly through ornithine and to a lesser degree through agmatine), citrulline, and glutamate.

For being a precursor of NO, (relaxes blood vessels), arginine is used in many conditions where vasodilation is required.

The presence of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a close relative, inhibits the nitric oxide reaction; therefore, ADMA is considered a marker for vascular disease, just as L-arginine is considered a sign of a healthy endothelium. *

Arginine

Arginine is a conditionally nonessential amino acid, meaning most of the time it can be manufactured by the human body, and does not need to be obtained directly through the diet.

The biosynthetic pathway however does not produce sufficient arginine, and some must still be consumed through diet.

Individuals who have poor nutrition or certain physical conditions may be advised to increase their intake of foods containing arginine.

The benefits and functions attributed to oral supplementation of L-arginine include:

Precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO)

Reduces healing time of injuries (particularly bone)

Quickens repair time of damaged tissue

Helps decrease blood pressure

Treatment of dentin hypersensitivity

Arginine (8%) in dental products (e.g., toothpaste) provides effective relief from sensitive teeth by depositing a dentin-like mineral, containing calcium and phosphate, within the dentin tubules and in a protective layer on the dentin surface.

Possible increased risk of death after supplementation following heart attack

A clinical trial found that patients taking an L-arginine supplement following a heart attack found no change in the heart's vascular tone or decrease in the symptoms of congestive heart failure (the heart's ability to pump). In fact, six more patients who were taking L-arginine died than those taking a placebo resulting in early termination of the study with the recommendation that the supplement not be used by heart attack patients. These findings suggest L-arginine is not beneficial post-heart-attack. **
