English edit
Noun edit
arginate (plural arginates)
- A salt of alginic acid.
- 2010, Hans Nieper, The Curious Man: The Life and Works of Dr. Hans Nieper, page 67:
- 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.
