• Alkalosis can occur as a result of Arginine deficiency

• Arginine exerts antioxidant effects that scavenge superoxide free radicals

• Arginine lowers total serum cholesterol levels

• Arginine lowers serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels

• Arginine inhibits the process of cross-linking

• Arginine reduces insulin resistance and improves blood sugar disposal in diabetes mellitus
type 2 patients

• Arginine reduces insulin resistance

• Arginine improves diabetes and reverses damage caused by diabetes

• Arginine may prevent diabetes

• Arginine increases oxygen uptake in the lungs in persons with hypoxia (due to its role in the production of nitric oxide, which in turn improves blood circulation via vasodilation)

• Arginine increases oxygen uptake in the lungs in persons with altitude sickness (due to
its role in the production of nitric oxide, which in turn improves blood
circulation via vasodilation)

• Arginine improves asthma

• Arginine helps to detoxify the liver and alleviates cirrhosis. Liver malfunction can
occur as a result of Arginine deficiency
