Oral Citrulline Does Not Affect Whole Body Protein Metabolism In Healthy Human Volunteers: Results Of A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind, Cross-over Study

0.18g/kg citrulline supplementation daily for a week (without exercise) failed to significantly influence plasma IGF-1 or insulin and did not affect muscle protein synthesis rates. A 13% decrease in glutamine concentrations in serum was noted.
