Core Tip L-arginine is commonly used amino acid with many physiological effects, but its safety and pharmacological effects are not fully understood and still controversial. This study found that a dose of 0.5 g/kg of L-arginine appears to be the highest dose that can be safely administered without producing cardiac damage in diabetic rats. However, doses of 1 g/kg or higher can worsen myocardial damage by increasing blood glucose levels, inflammation, and oxidative stress. L-arginine can also reduce body weight and improve lipid levels in rats, but these benefits do not outweigh the injurious effects of high doses on the cardiac muscle.
