OKG (a salt formed from one molecule of a-Ketoglutarate (a-KG) and two molecules of Ornithine) is a metabolic regulator and precursor for Glutamine and Arginine. Glutamine availability promotes protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. There is a correlation of low Glutamine levels with a reduction of protein synthesis, and increasing protein degradation. OKG is also a precursor for other amino acids and keto acids, which are important for protein synthesis, such as Proline and a-Ketoisocaporate. Ornithine-a-Ketoglutarate has a secretagoic effect on hormones such as insulin and human growth hormone, and has an anabolic effect on muscles.
