  • In another arginine study the method of protein synthesis that arginine is useful in activating is the mTOR pathway. Researchers from the U.S. Dept of Argriculture found that arginine promotes muscle protein synthesis by stimulating the mTOR pathway rather than via nitric oxide production. (American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology Metabolism, 299: 899-909, 2010).  This study showed that influencing biochemical pathways that promote protein synthesis is more important than stimulating muscle blood flow for muscle growth.

  • Journal Nutrition, published online Dec 29, 2010. From McMasters University, research showed that Arginine supplementation affected neither muscle blood flow nor muscle hypertrophy. Test subjects ingested a drink containing essential amino acids (including 10 grams of L-arginine) or a placebo. Eventhough the supplement increased blood arginine levels by 300 percent, they found no changes in markers of nitric oxide production (important controller of blood flow) or muscle protein synthesis. However, arginine increased growth hormone levels significantly.
