Tumour Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) is chronically elevated in conditions where skeletal muscle loss occurs. As l-glutamine can dampen the effects of inflamed environments, we investigated the role of l-glutamine in both differentiating C2C12 myoblasts and existing myotubes in the absence/presence
L-Glutamine (L-Gln) supplementation has been pointed out as an anticatabolic intervention, but its effects on protein synthesis and degradation signaling in skeketal muscle are still poorly known. The effects of L-Gln pretreatment (1 g kg-1 day-1 body weight for 10 days) on
This study was designed to appraise the relationship between enteric neuropathy and oxidative stress in cancer cachexia under l-glutamine-supplemented diet. Total and nitrergic neuronal populations were investigated in jejunum and ileum in four experimental groups: control (C); control
Retinal progenitor sheet transplants have been shown to extend neuronal processes into a degenerating host retina and to restore visual responses in the brain. The aim of this study was to identify cells involved in transplant signals to retinal degenerate hosts using computational molecular
Diverted colorectal segments can present trophic and inflammatory changes. These alterations are of special importance in the patients whose colostomy becomes permanent, as well as in the differential diagnosis with other inflammatory diseases. This study was accomplished to quantify these
The amino acid L-glutamine has been shown to be important to numerous cells in the body. However, the routine measurement of glutamine in biological solutions is complicated by its relative instability, particularly at extremes of pH. We report a simple bacterial bioassay method for the estimation
Gut atrophy develops during prolonged total parenteral nutrition (TPN). TPN solutions do not contain glutamine, an energy substrate of the intestinal tract. This study evaluated the effect of addition of L-glutamine to TPN on gut nitrogen content, histology, and disaccharidase enzyme activity. Five
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of L-alanyl-L-glutamine (L-Ala-Gln) preconditioning in an acute cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model in gerbils.
METHODS
Thirty-six Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), (60-100g), were randomized in 2 groups (n=18) and preconditioned with saline 2.0 ml
We aimed to evaluate effects of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, L-glutamine, and L-arginine (HMB/GLN/ARG) on radiation-induced acute intestinal toxicity. Forty rats were divided into four groups: group (G) 1 was defined as control group, and G2 was radiation therapy (RT) control group. G3 and G4 were
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to evaluate the effects of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, L-glutamine, and L-arginine (HMB/Glu/Arg) on radiation-induced acute inflammation and mucosal atrophy in the oral mucosa.
METHODS
Twenty-eight rats were divided into four groups. group (G) 1 was defined as control group, and
BACKGROUND
Deltamethrin (DLM) is a broad-spectrum synthetic dibromo-pyrethroid pesticide that is widely used for agricultural and veterinary purposes. However, human exposure to the pesticide leads to neurotoxicity. Glutamine is one of the principal, free intracellular amino acids and may also be an
BACKGROUND
i.v. administration of a total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solution results in small intestinal gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) atrophy, lowers small intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, and impairs upper respiratory tract secretory IgA-mediated mucosal immunity; isonitrogenous
Intracarotid infusion of 3 microM glycyl-L-glutamine was found to oppose the fall in the choline acetyl-transferase content of the preganglionically denervated cat superior cervical ganglion; this same effect has been demonstrated previously for acetylcholinesterase content. Because choline
This study aimed to evaluate the intestinal mucosa of the duodenum and jejunum of Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats supplemented with L-glutamine. Thirty-two male 50-day-old Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly divided into four groups: control (C), control supplemented with 2 % L-glutamine
We investigated the effects of L-glutamine (0-20 mM) on cardiac function. The isolated perfused working rat heart (left atrial and aortic pressures of 5 and 70 cm H2O, respectively) was subjected to 20 min of normothermic low-flow ischaemia followed by reperfusion for 35 min. In the absence of
