Abstract
The amino acid l‐citrulline is used as a therapeutic agent for urea cycle disorders (UCD) including ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency (CPSD), and N‐acetylglutamate synthase deficiency. There are few reports, however, on the use of l‐citrulline in Japan and little consensus regarding the effects of l‐citrulline.
