Summary
This study looked at whether L-lysine, a common amino acid, can change levels of aldosterone and cortisol—hormones that control salt balance and stress. Twenty healthy men took L-lysine or a placebo for 13 days, then switched. Researchers measured hormone changes during various tests. The goal was to understand how the body controls these hormones, not to treat any disease.
