Meanings
nounarginate (plural arginates)
plural arginates
- A salt of alginic acid.
Since arginine is a normal component and plays an important role in the glucose transport mechanism, arginates can easily serve as acceptors for glucose. So I have given diabetic patients both calcium arginate and magnesium arginate, with spectacular results thus far.
