Detailed Analysis
Taking citrulline and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) together may reduce citrulline's effectiveness. DHEA can inhibit the synthesis of citrulline from glutamine. This interaction may be concentration-dependent. DHEA inhibits the pentose cycle, which provides NADPH for citrulline synthesis from glutamine. NADPH is a crucial reducing agent in this biochemical pathway. By inhibiting this cycle, DHEA may decrease citrulline production.
