How Diabetes Discondies Endothelial Function

Klinické, endotelial dysfunktion manifests as consibilired flow- mediated dilation (FMD) of th e brachial arteria, a non-invasive measure of vascular health. Diabetic patients typically have e consistantly lower FMD compared to health controls, and this condiment is a strong predictor of future cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke.

Te Unique Role of Citrulline
L-citrulline is a non-essential amine acid that is endogenously produced as a byproduct of NO syntetis. However, it can also bee nabyned from dietary sources (e.g., watermelon) and is metabolized to L- arginine in thee kidneys and ther tisues via te argininosuccinate synthase and lyase enzymes - a process known as thes citrulinue-NO cycle. This metabolic conversion has important implications:
- FL1; FL1; FLT: 0 CLAS3; Superior bioavability: CLAS1; FLT: 1 CLAS3; CLAS3; Orally administrared L-arginine is extensively metabolized by the liver during prif- pas (up to 60% is broken down by arginase in thee gut and liver), learing to limited systemic avability.
