l-Citrulline restores nitric oxide level and cellular uptake at the brain capillary endothelial cell line (TR-BBB cells) with glutamate cytotoxicity

Conclusionl-Citrulline can restore NO level and its cellular uptake in TR-BBB cells with glutamate cytotoxicity. Supplying l-citrulline at the BBB may provide neuroprotective effect to improve cerebrovascular dysfunction such as a brain ischemia.
