L-Ornithine

SKU: orb1310337

Description

L-Ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that serves as a key intermediate in the urea cycle for nitrogen detoxification. Research applications include studying its renoprotective and anti-fatigue properties in metabolic, hepatic, and exercise physiology models, both in vivo and in vitro.

Bioactivity

• Target IC50:

• In Vivo:
  METHODS: To investigate the effect of L-Ornithine on peripheral clock gene expression, mice were orally treated with L-Ornithine (1000 mg/kg) for 3 days. RESULTS: The phase of PER2 gene expression in liver, submandibular gland and kidney was significantly advanced in L-Ornithine treated mice. METHODS: To investigate the effect of L-Ornithine on sleep behavior, L-Ornithine was added to the diet of maternal mice, and its effect on the sleep behavior of offspring mice was observed. RESULTS: L-Ornithine supplementation increased sleep-like behavior in mice. METHODS: To study the effect of L-Ornithine on acute necrotizing pancreatitis, rats were intraperitoneally injected with L-Ornithine (3 g/kg). RESULTS: Severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis was induced by L-Ornithine in rats.
• In Vitro:
  METHODS: HK-2 cells were treated with L-Ornithine (100, 300 μM) for 24 hours, and ROS levels were measured using fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS: Ornithine protected HK-2 cells from ROS production.
