Hello.

I'm aware that low ornithine is related to the urea cycle. But what about high?

This article mentions it's relation to mitochondria. - a defect of the import of ornithine into the mitochondria.

Pragmatically, what could I do about this?

Anyone with a similar thing tested?
My ornithine is 176 (30-120norm), and my arginine is minimally high.

Has been tested two times in blood.

Of course one could also relate it to connective tissue destruction, not sure whether this would be a too far stretch.

Any thoughts appreciated.
