Effect of L-Citrulline Intake on Blood Pressure in Cold Environments: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrThis study investigated the effect of L‐citrulline supplementation on BP under cold exposure and found that it significantly reduced both SBP and DBP, thereby alleviating cold‐induced hypertension, thus providing a scientific basis for cardiovascular protection. Future studies should further investigate its optimal dosage.

Distinct HLA Associations for Antibody Multireactivity With Citrulline-Containing Type II Collagen Epitopes Versus More Limited Antibody Reactivity With Citrulline-Containing IgG Epitopes in Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Arthritis RheumatolObjective Anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be promiscuous, with cross‐reactive binding to many antigens containing short motifs, or private with little cross‐reactivity. Also, ACPA reactivity patterns differ among patients with RA, including for motif‐containing epitopes in important self‐antigens like ...

Citrulline inhibits LPS‐induced pyroptosis of RAW264.7 macrophages through NF‐κB signaling pathway
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2023 Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of citrulline on the pyroptosis of mouse macrophage RAW264.7 and the mechanism. We investigated the effect of citrulline on pyroptosis of RAW264.7 cell induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS ...

Functional Relevance of Citrulline in the Vegetative Tissues of Watermelon During Abiotic Stresses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 A non-protein amino acid, citrulline, is a compatible solute involved in the maintenance of cellular osmolarity during abiotic stresses. Despite its significance, a coherent model indicating the role of citrulline during stress conditions has not yet ...

L-Citrulline Protects Skeletal Muscle Cells from Cachectic Stimuli through an iNOS-Dependent Mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Dietary L-citrulline is thought to modulate muscle protein turnover by increasing L-arginine availability. To date, the direct effects of increased L-citrulline concentrations in muscle have been completely neglected. Therefore, we determined the role of

Autophagy generates citrullinated peptides in human synoviocytes: a possible trigger for anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies [PDF]
, 2016 OBJECTIVES: Autophagy may represent a functional processing event that creates a substrate for autoreactivity. In particular, autophagy may play a role in the pathogenesis of RA, since autophagy is a key cellular event involved in the generation of ...

Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 1 (SNAT1) modulates L-citrulline transport and nitric oxide (NO) signaling in piglet pulmonary arterial endothelial cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There is evidence that impairments in nitric oxide (NO) signaling contribute to chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. The L-arginine-NO precursor, L-citrulline, has been shown to ameliorate pulmonary hypertension.

Rheumatoid arthritis and citrullination [PDF]
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2018 Purpose of reviewDysregulated citrullination is a key element that drives the production and maintenance of antibodies to citrullinated proteins, a hallmark in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This article reviews recent literature on the origin of citrullinated antigens in RA.Recent findingsThe study of synovial fluid from patients with RA has provided ...

Estrogen stimulates dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase activity and the metabolism of asymmetric dimethylarginine. [PDF]
, 2003 Background— Experimental evidence suggests that estrogens stimulate the production of nitric oxide (NO) by vascular endothelial cells. This effect has been attributed to increased expression and enzymatic activity of both the constitutive and inducible ...
