Reduce oxidative stress
A new study has found that arginine may help to reduce oxidative stress. It is a condition in which there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the body’s ability to detoxify them.
The study found that arginine supplements reduced oxidative stress by increasing levels of antioxidant enzymes. The study’s author said that the outcomes could have implications for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. These findings offer a promising new avenue for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases.
