Figure 8.18 The role of the intestine and kidney in formation of arginine. The intestine converts arginine to citruUine, to be released into the blood to be taken up by the kidney where it is converted to arginine. An important role of arginine is conversion to nitric oxide, a key messenger molecule, and neuromodulator in the brain (Chapter 14).
