The body uses arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, to make nitric oxide, which helps the blood vessels relax, aiding proper blood flow. However, some studies suggest using arginine aids treatment of angina, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and vascular headache.
The fate of an amino acid after it is transported to the liver is highly dependent on the body's needs for that moment. Some amino acids enter the blood stream, where they join amino acids that have been liberated during the constant breakdown and synthesis of body tissue. Other amino acids are used by the liver to manufacture many of the specialized proteins such as liver enzymes, lipoproteins, and the blood protein (albumin).
