The Ergogenic Potential of Arginine
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is involved in protein synthesis, the detoxification of ammonia, and its conversion to glucose as well as being catabolized to produce energy. In addition to these physiological functions, arginine has been pu...
