The effect of arginine supplements on bone markers and related hormones were studied in young female Sprague-Dawley rats fed either an arginine supplemented diet or control diet. Twenty four rats (body weight 83±5 g) were randomly assigned to one of two groups, consuming casein or casein with supplemented arginine diet.
