Talk:Citrulline

Ball and Stick Model is incorrect

The carboxylamine (alpha amino group, ie. -CH(NH3)COOH) nitrogen has too many hydrogen. The hydrogen shown should belong to the carboxyl oxygen (-COOH). The formula associated is correct. DAY medmatix 21:07, 23 November 2018 (UTC)medmatix

What is an "idealized formula"?

 Done Good catch. Probably me or someone writing in obscure academic language where things are correct but no one can understand the point. I changed it. --Smokefoot (talk) 23:33, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Citrulline and erectile dysfunction

I remove content in Sources about citrulline in watermelon rind and possibility that it could benefit erectile dysfunction. There is one valid clinical trial on that question, but in the absence of any other research, premature to link citrulline (or watermelon) to treating erectile dysfunction. TRIAL: Cormio L, De Siati M, Lorusso F, Selvaggio O, Mirabella L, Sanguedolce F, Carrieri G. Oral L-citrulline supplementation improves erection hardness in men with mild erectile dysfunction.

Citrulline malate as athletic performance supplement

The article cites Bendahan 2008 as preliminary research. Since then there have been six more clinical trials published, five with positive results (Perez-Guisado, Wax, Wax, Glenn, Glenn) and one with no benefit (Cunniffe). Unfortunately, there are no published secondary sources (systemic reviews or meta-analyses). The dose range for the seven trials was 6 to 12 grams. Bendahan was the only trial that looked at multi-day consumption (15 days). The design for the others was all testing 60 minutes after consumption of a single dose. All seven trials were placebo controlled. Until there is a good published review it is probably premature to post all this in the Article. Hence, here.
