Presentation Transcript

  1. CitrullineMalate By: Zack Davoodi

  2. Background • Citrulline - Nonstandard AA • Not found in protein • Intermediates in metabolic pathways • Biosynthesis • Urea Cycle • L-arginine + 3/2 NADPH + H+ + 2 O2 = citrulline + nitric oxide+ 3/2 NADP+ • Malate • Intermediate in Krebs cycle

  3. Reported Benefits • Increase NO (vasodilation) better than Arginine • Increase rate of ATP synthesis • Greater PC synthesis postEX • Combat fatigue – reduce lactic acid & ammonia

  4. Conclusions • Ergogenic Aid • Seems to be effective • More research into mechanisms
