摘要：The fundamental purpose of this article is to chronicle the endogenous mechanisms which drive the conversion of citrulline into nitric oxide and examinethe efficacy and applicability of citrulline supplementation among healthy and compromised populations. Citrulline, anantecedent of the conditionally essential amino acidarginine, has grown increasingly popular among athletic populations and bodybuildersin recent years for its ostensiblepossession of ergogenic andanabolic capacities. The purported benefits of citrulline supplementation and associated clinical applications will beintroduced and subsequently examined through an unbiased review of existing scientific literature.
