Glutamine (bran Acid Amides) is the body's most abundant amino acid content, which accounts for 61% of the amino acid content of skeletal muscles, mainly in charge of the surrounding tissue to organ transporter of nitrogen, and therefore can be used as intestinal cells, liver cells, lymphocytes and macrophages, the cells of the energy source used to copy.
Glutamine (Glutamine) was also known as Acid Amides bran, as the body's most abundant non-essential amino acids, and is the only directly through the cerebral vascular barrier (BBB) of amino acids. Stored in skeletal muscle in the body or blood. When injury or illness, glutamine may be required by ingestion of food containing Gln to obtain sufficient quantities. Organisms generate glutamine by glutamine synthetase catalyzed reaction of glutamate and ammonium. In addition to MSG, acyl acid L-glutamine can be obtained by the intake of beef, milk (dairy products), chicken, eggs, fish, cereals, cabbage, beets, beans, spinach and celery and so on. Vegetable juice or fermented foods (such as: miso) also has a small amount of L-glutamic acid acyl. There are many applications in the field of biochemistry, comprising:
One of matrix synthesis of DNA. Play an important role in protein synthesis. For intestinal cells the main source of energy. Leading material for rapidly dividing immune cells, it can enhance immunity. By generating ammonia in the kidneys To achieve pH balance. Alternative energy source, and also to prevent the cortisol (cortisone) cause decomposition of proteins of brain cells. In addition, for surgical patients can not eat, intravenous nutrition after surgery give it rich in glutamine (and arginine, ω-3 fatty acids, etc.), in addition to strengthening the immune system to prevent infection, but also speed up the patient's recovery.
