arginine

Side chain is -CH2-CH2-CH2-NH-C=NH2+ | NH2 L-arginine is an essential amino acid. Pharmacology: Indications: - used to stimulate growth hormone release Contraindications: - does not improve outcomes after heart attack Laboratory: - arginine in specimen - arginine in body fluid - arginine in amniotic fluid - arginine in blood - arginine in dried blood spot - arginine in CSF - arginine in serum/plasma - arginine in urine - arginine in vitreous fluid Mechanism of action: 1) essential amino acid 2) precursor to nitric oxide, thus a vasodilator
