Ornithine

Ornithine/Nutrient Depletion:

  • Amino acidsAmino acids: In human research, ornithine improved levels of glycine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, and proline (16). In human research, ornithine aspartate decreased plasma levels of amino acids methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, threonine, serine, and glycine (9). In human research, ornithine aspartate promoted amino acid retention in peripheral tissue (39).
  • MethohexitalMethohexital: In neutrophils in vitro, methohexital decreased ornithine in the amino acid profile (37).
