Gastric ulcer induced by the injection of acetic acid (0.025 ml of 20%) into the gastric wall of rats was healed considerably 5 days after the injection of acetic acid. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) such as aspirin, indomethacin, and phenylbutazone were given consecutively for 5
Although regular combined aerobic-resistance exercises can ameliorate the inflammatory status and redox balance in elderly population, it is unclear whether protein or specific amino acid supplementation could improve such benefits. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the inflammatory status and redox
L-glutamine markedly suppressed the development of the gastric lesions induced by aspirin in pylorus-ligated rats. In non-ligated normal rats, aspirin was absorbed rapidly after administration and was maintained in the blood in high salicylate concentration thereafter. When aspirin was administered
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of enteral nutrition (EN) supplemented with l-glutamine on glycolytic parameters, inflammation, immune function, and oxidative stress in moderately ill intensive care patients with sepsis.
METHODS
Thirty patients received EN. Fifteen patients received EN supplemented
It was established that L-glutamine, an aminoacid, has marked anti-inflammatory activity and moderate analgesic activity. The drug was effective orally in suppressing various experimentally induced inflammatory reactions and did not show any gastric irritation in anti-inflammatory doses. It is
We evaluated the effects of chronic oral supplementation with l-glutamine and l-alanine in their free form or as the dipeptide l-alanyl-l-glutamine (DIP) on muscle damage, inflammation and cytoprotection, in rats submitted to progressive resistance exercise (RE). Wistar rats (n 8/group) were
The isolation and transplantation of porcine islets represent a future option for the treatment of type 1 diabetic patients. Stringent product release criteria and limited availability of transgenic and specific pathogen-free pigs will essentially require processing of explanted pig pancreata in
The enzyme L-glutamineD-fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.16) was isolated, partially characterized, and purified from the gastric mucosa of dogs. A new method, using 14C-fructose-6-phosphate, has been developed for the estimation of the enzyme activity. Several classes of standard
OBJECTIVE
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a multifactorial syndrome in the neonate. Enteral feeding practices are an important component of gastrointestinal injury in neonatal NEC. In the present study, we examined the protective effect of oral supplementation with L-glutamine, an important
Obesity-associated diabetes and concomitant inflammation may compromise pancreatic β-cell integrity and function. l-glutamine and l-alanine are potent insulin secretagogues, with antioxidant and cytoprotective properties. Herein, we studied whether the dipeptide l-alanyl-l-glutamine (Ala-Gln) could
Radix of Isatis indigotica (indigowood root, IR) has been used in traditional medicine for its potential anti-inflammatory effect. The purpose of this study is to investigate the radioprotective effects of radiation caused damages in hematopoietic system and normal tissues in mice. A total of 57
BACKGROUND
The non-essential amino acid, l-glutamine (Gln), is abundant in the human body. Gln exhibits beneficial effects on endotoxic shock through the inhibition of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) activity. cPLA(2) has been reported to be implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, but the
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
