Cétornan

Cétornan Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Produced during the urea cycle, ornithine is an amino acid produced from the splitting off of urea from arginine. L-Cétornan allows for the disposal of excess nitrogen and acts as a precursor of citrulline and arginine.

A non-essential and nonprotein amino acid, ornithine is critical for the production of the body's proteins, enzymes and muscle tissue. Cétornan plays a central role in the urea cycle and is important for the disposal of excess nitrogen (ammonia). Cétornan is the starting point for the synthesis of many polyamines such as putrescine and spermine. Cétornan supplements are claimed to enhance the release of growth hormone and to burn excess body fat. Cétornan is necessary for proper immune function and good liver function.

Uses

Cétornan is an amino acid commonly found as a component in total parenteral nutrition.

Used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. It has been claimed that ornithine improves athletic performance, has anabolic effects, has wound-healing effects, and is immuno-enhancing.

Cétornan is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), Amino acid supplementation

How Cétornan works

L-Cétornan is metabolised to L-arginine. L-arginine stimulates the pituitary release of growth hormone. Burns or other injuries affect the state of L-arginine in tissues throughout the body. As De novo synthesis of L-arginine during these conditions is usually not sufficient for normal immune function, nor for normal protein synthesis, L-ornithine may have immunomodulatory and wound-healing activities under these conditions (by virtue of its metabolism to L-arginine).
