  • Function of Arginine as a Precursor
    Although arginine is a precursor in the synthesis of NO, we are not aware of any studies to date that have demonstrated an increased production of NO, in either individuals or animals consuming additional arginine in the diet. Recall that the NO produced by immune cells is dependent on iNOS.
  • Role of Protein in Human Body
    uring exercise, protein synthesis is depressed and protein degradation may be increased. Because this may result in catabolism, training may increase the need for dietary protein. In fact, research has discovered that both intensive aerobic and anaerobic training may lead to a negative nitrogen balance, which could produce losses in lean body mass.
  • High Intensity Resistance Exercise
    The physiological purpose of the exercise induced increase in GH is unclear. GH acts both as an anabolic hormone (via insulin-like growth factor-1) to increase protein synthesis, and as a metabolic hormone to reduce carbohydrate metabolism to maintain blood glucose levels.
