Arginine
Enhances production of ornithine, which facilitates incorporation of waste nitrogen into the formation of citrulline and argininosuccinate. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/950672-treatment

arginine enhances ornithine but then u have ornithine transcabamoylase deficiency...and this enzyme is reqd for further conversion to citrulline for urea cycle to go on...so can plzz explain a lil more..

Citrulline can be derived from multiple sources:
from arginine via nitric oxide synthase (NOS) from ornithine via catabolism of proline or glutamine/glutamate see more in this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginine |
