Dosing and efficacy of
glutamine supplementation in human exercise and sport training.
The effects of dietary
glutamine supplementation on growth performance and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens reared under hot conditions.
Group C (
glutamine): Received 7 days of standard chow food plus
glutamine rich diet preoperatively followed by right colonic transection and end-to-end anastomosis and received 7 days of standard chow food plus
glutamine rich diet postoperatively before being sacrificed (n=10).
These cells store
glutamine that is converted temporarily by the enzyme glutaminase into glutamate during synapse activation, and then it reverts to
glutamine for uptake and storage.
The study raises the possibility that a simple blood test measuring
glutamine might be able to pinpoint when androgen-targeted therapy is failing in a prostate cancer patient and even predict when therapy resistance will occur.
Samples from both patients and controls, were assayed for concentrations of methionine, asparagine,
glutamine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine.
Cell culture, treatment with
glutamine, and cyclic stretching
Similarly, for the content of proanthocyanidins (see Figure 4) the highest concentrations were observed in treatment Gln60 and the lowest in Gln5 and MS, thus showing that treatment with 60mM of
glutamine favors the production of secondary metabolites in Bacupari callus.
Research indicates that output levels of human growth hormone increase four-fold after supplementing with
glutamine. (42)
Glutamine can also help replenish muscle stores of glycogen after exercise,43 providing a ready fuel source for muscles.
To acknowledge above data, we screen GJA8 gene of 27 cataract patients with no family history of cataract, a subtle 1104G>C (pE368Q) (GenBank KY556641) transversion that substitutes glutamic acid to
glutamine was identified at exon 2 of GJA8 gene in one of the patient, which revealed that glutamic acid at position 368 in normal GJA8 protein was changed to
glutamine, which is highlighted in Figure 6.
"The other way to generate 'new bicarbonates' occurs through
glutamine catabolism in the kidneys."
