Application

L-Citrulline has been used in ultra-performance liquid chromatography to validate, metabolites involved in the coordination of metamorphic processes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Intermediate in the production of nitric oxide from L-arginine by NO synthetase.
L-Citrulline, when orally administered is found to ameliorate the condition of sickle cell disease in humans. L-citrulline can be a replacement for L-arginine administration in case of defective NO synthetase. L-Citrulline supplementation is found to fulfill the purpose of NO-dependent signaling.

In addition to responding to environmental entrainment with diurnal variation, metabolism is also tightly controlled by cell-autonomous circadian clock. Extensive studies have revealed key roles of transcription in circadian control. Post-transcriptional regulation for the rhythmic gating of metabolic enzymes remains
