Abstract
This invention embodies use of exogenous L-citrulline not only for support of capillary endothelial function, by L-citrulline bioconversion to plasma L-arginine to provide more cell substrate for enzymatic generation of nitric oxide, but also for providing more L-arginine in cellular microenvironments including that in acidified endosomes and lysosomes for potential chelation to free bivalent iron. Thus, it is contemplated that cellular oxidative damage from hydroxyl free radicals generated by Fenton-like reactions between bivalent iron and diffusible hydrogen peroxide will be ameliorated or prevented in age-related macular degeneration and in several nervous system age-related degenerative diseases by oral L-citrulline supplementation. In addition, a novel pharmaceutical composition containing L-citrulline, calcium myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (calcium phytate), and calcium carbonate is formulated in order to provide L-citrulline and also to reduce unfavorable higher serum ferritin levels to lower values by means of reduction of body iron stores, by inhibition of gastrointestinal absorption of iron without inducing substantial negative calcium balances.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
