| Great article.

| urea, is concentrated. In contrast, L-citrulline avoids
| intestinal or liver metabolism and enters the kidneys, where it
| is rapidly converted into L-arginine"

| Radiation oncologist here, the radiation dose delivered (32Gy

|
| Stereotactic radiosurgery regularly achieves control rates >70%
| without any radiosensitizers.
|
| That said, solid work, and bravo if L-Arginine works. Next most
| obvious work would be to test in stereotactic radiosurgery.

| Thanks for sharing!
