Arginine and the immune system

Tuotetiedot

Arginine and the Immune System, the third part of the publication series Arginine and Health, discusses the role of arginine in the innate and adaptive immune responses. Arginine plays a central role in promoting good health and preventing infections, silent inflammation, cancer and cardiovascular disease. We will examine how different groups of people – including the elderly, working-aged adults with stress, physically active people and athletes – can benefit from arginine. Arginine and Health is a series of popular scientific publications that discusses the health effects of the amino acid arginine. The series offers easily understandable research-based information about the role of arginine in promoting good health without medicine. The series also explores the importance of arginine for various target groups. Jyrki Penttinen, MD, PhD, is responsible for the scientific content of the series. Dr Penttinen has conducted medical research on arginine since the 1990s; the information in this publication series is based on a large number of peer-reviewed medical studies. Hannele Penttinen is responsible for the educational aspects of the publications. The Arginine and Health series does not endorse any specific arginine products, nor may it be used to promote arginine supplements.
