Eight men were given 2 casein meals, one with and one without a supplement of arginine and glycine, to measure the effect on plasma amino acids, insulin and glucagon. Supplementation resulted in increased levels of plasma glucagon, glycine and arginine, a tendency to decreased insulin and significantly lower insulin/glucagon ratio, tryptophan and tyrosine. The data suggest that insulin and glucagon, which control cholesterol metabolism, respond to dietary and postprandial plasma amino acid levels of arginine and glycine.
八名男性分别食用了两顿酪蛋白餐，一顿添加了精氨酸和甘氨酸，另一顿未添加，以测定其对血浆氨基酸、胰岛素和胰高血糖素的影响。添加后导致血浆胰高血糖素、甘氨酸和精氨酸水平升高，胰岛素有下降趋势，胰岛素/胰高血糖素比值、色氨酸和酪氨酸显著降低。数据表明，控制胆固醇代谢的胰岛素和胰高血糖素对饮食和餐后血浆中精氨酸和甘氨酸的氨基酸水平有反应。
