[QUOTE="Jasen Bruce, post: 22409, member: 14"] Good questions croaker and smithers Regarding cancer cells, this is a bit out of my league. Just like all cells, cancer cells can be influenced by hormones and growth factors. For many years oncologists have manipulated various hormones in attempt to control or reduce certain cancer cells believed to be fed by specific (or multiple) hormones. A good example is the use of Lupron to reduce testosterone levels in males with prostate cancer- although there is still controversy around this treatment. Arginine and Citrulline can increase the release of endogenous growth factors from the pituitary. There are specific growth factors like TGF which proliferate cancer cells and researchers are trying to figure out how to isolate just these growth factors as not to negatively influence the proliferation of healthy cells. It makes sense that they are experimenting with L-Arginine to see if they can manipulate the growth factors reaching cancer cells smithers- the only difference between oral and injectable amino acids is absorption. Pharmacists typically apply a 10 to 1 oral amino acid absorption ratio- meaning you absorb 10% of the oral dosage taken, and that is typically best case scenario as some aminos are poorly absorbed in the gut (like Glutathione).
