• Descripción: Ornithine is an amino acid that is a precursor for the synthesis of arginine, creatine, and polyamines. It can be found in a variety of protein-rich foods or can be synthesized from glutamate by the enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase. Ornithine HCl is used as an additive to animal feed to promote growth and improve feed conversion rates. This compound has been shown to increase nitrogen retention and utilization in cattle, which may be due to its ability to inhibit GABA degradation or its ability to stimulate endogenous arginine production. Ornithine HCl also enhances the activity of dietary fatty acids, which may be due to its ability to increase intracellular levels of citric acid cycle intermediates such as succinic acid.
