Description

Glutamine, (L-glutamine) is an amino acide traditionally considered nonessential, however it may be considered "conditionally essential" after critical illness, stress, or injury. (Glutamine is different than glutamate (glutamic acid), monosodium glutamate, and gluten.) It is the most abundant free amino acid in human muscle and plasma, and is important as a constituent of proteins and as a means of nitrogen transport between tissues. Muscle is the major tissue involved in glutamine synthesis. Glutamine is utilized at high rates by leukocytes (particularly lymphocytes) to provide energy and optimal conditions for nucleotide biosynthesis, and therefore cell proliferation metabolic requirements. In times of stress (illness or prolonged exercise for example) there is an associated decrease in the intramuscular and plasma concentrations of glutamine, and it has been hypothesized that this decrease in glutamine availability could impair immune function. Dietary sources of glutamine include plant and animal proteins such as beef, pork, poultry, milk, yogurt, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, raw spinach, raw parsley, and cabbage.
