Oral administration of l-citrulline alters the vascular delivery of substances to rat skeletal muscles

Oral administration of l-citrulline alters the vascular delivery of substances to rat skeletal muscles

Vascular endothelial function deteriorates with age and disease, and the production of vasodilator factors like nitric oxide (NO) decreases. The free amino acid l-citrulline increases vasodilation and blood flow through increased NO production. We examined the effects of oral l-citrulline administra...
