Dietary L-Arginine Supplementation Exerts Preventive Effects on Colitis Through Modulation of the Gut Microbiota
A recent mouse study shows that dietary L‑arginine given before colitis onset markedly reduces disease severity, matching the benefits of continuous supplementation. Preventive dosing restored body weight, disease activity index, colon length, tight‑junction protein expression, and lowered serum LPS. It also rebalanced gut microbiota toward beneficial genera such as Akkermansia and Lactobacillus, effects confirmed by fecal microbiota transplantation. Therapeutic L‑arginine administered after disease induction offered only modest improvements.
