arginine is from a protein, a serum triglyceride is for the sugars contained by the blood, the arginine should have no position on the triglycerides(3 sugars)
who's put what in where on earth?
A quick prod of Medline on Pubmed lead me to two different studies within two different animal models of diabetes. In both studies, supplementation of L-arginine reduced the elevated levels of triglycerides.

Here are the reference:

1) J. Physiol Biochem., March 2004, 60(1): 31-7

2) J. Nutr., 2005 Apr; 135(4): 714-21

Hope this is helpful for you.
Arginine is an amino acerbic derived from glutamine. It has plentiful roles in the body apart from individual a component in proteins. As a free amino contained by the blood stream it has be linked near increased vasodilation and brain function as it is a pre-cursor to Nitric Oxide which functions to dilate the blood vessels and as a neurotransmitter. It is involved within immunity as it stimulates the Thymus to produce more lymphocytes. It is involved within removing Nitrogen (found in protein) from the body and can increase blood glucose and Human Growth Hormone level.

It inhibits the absorption of triglycerides (fat) and promotes lean muscle synthesis - body builders whip it for this reason, as economically as the function of dilating the vessels to offer them that pumped look. It is dangerous to rob unless you have a dietry lesser amount as it can damage liver, kidneys etc surrounded by excess.
