The chemical nitric oxide (NO) is thought to play a key role in mobilising the body’s defences.
One way to do this is may be to give people capsules of a substance called arginine, which is used by the body to produce NO.
Scientists from Linkoeping University in Sweden tested the theory in a study involving 120 patients with TB in Ethiopia.
Those given arginine responded more quickly to their treatment.Symptoms such as serious coughing cleared up more rapidly, and spit tests showed a lower level of TB bacteria than those who took a placebo. Arginine therapy could reduce the length of time that patients have to take standard drug treatments.
Arginine is found in particularly high concentration in peanuts. In areas where arginine capsules are not readily available, people could get much the same positive effect from eating foods – such as peanuts – which are arginine-rich.
