Glutamine: Interactions

Interactions of glutamine with other agents (micronutrients, foods): Low-carbohydrate diets Via gluconeogenesis (metabolic pathway to re-synthesize glucose), the human body can stabilize glucose (blood sugar) levels during carbohydrate deficiency. In the case of low-carbohydrate diets, the human brain is thus supplied with energy via the regeneration of glucose. For this purpose, glucose is produced in … Glutamine: Interactions

Glutamine: Functions

Glutamine can be produced from other precursors by the human body itself and is thus assigned to the semi-essential amino acids. However, the body must absorb the largest proportion of glutamine with food in the form of glutamic acid. Compared to the other free amino acids, glutamine is the most abundant in the human organism … Glutamine: Functions
