Shrimp And OJ Make Me Horny Baby!

I just looked at the amino profile of shrimp.

It is much higher in glutamine and also about the same amount of aspartic acid as arginine. Lysine, Leucine, and Glycine are up there as well.

So how do you single out the arginine here? Do you have any evidence?

And please don't read this as a challenge as much as curiosity. I'm trying to understand why my body responds to certain things.

I read that it could also be the iodine in shrimp?

Arginine is well known to be involved in the sex response.

Um, duh. That's what I was referring to, the ratio. I was likely looking at the same breakdown as javacody, not sure why you singled out arginine, either.

Beef has about seven or eight amino acids with as much or greater composition as arginine, where shrimp has only four. Arginine is the amino acid specifically associated with arousal.
