Glutamine
is one of the twenty amino acids generally present in animal proteins.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Over 61% of
skeletal muscle tissue is glutamine. It contains two ammonia groups, one
from its precursor, glutamate, and the other from free ammonia in the
bloodstream. Glutamine is involved in more metabolic processes than any
other amino acid. Glutamine is converted to glucose when the body as an
energy source requires more glucose. Glutamine assists in maintaining
the proper acid/alkaline balance in the body, and is the basis of the
building blocks for the synthesis of RNA and DNA. In animal research,
glutamine has anti-inflammatory effects. Glutamine also decreases the
craving for sweets and sugar, which is beneficial to people wishing to
lose weight.
Glutamic acid (glutamate) is a non-essential (can be made by the body)
amino acid used by the body for a variety of functions. Glutamic Acid is
present as a glutamine precursor. Glutamine may also be converted to
glutamic acid. Therefore, glutamine and glutamic acid are somewhat
interconvertible.
Glutamic acid is also a component of folic acid and a precursor of
glutathione, an antioxidant. Glutamic acid may play a role in the normal
function of the heart and the prostate. Under normal circumstances,
humans can meet their glutamate requirements directly from the diet or
by making it from precursor molecules (e.g. glutamine) so only an
individual deficient in protein would become deficient in glutamic acid.
Glutamic acid is also an important neurotransmitter involved with the
transportation of potassium across the blood-brain barrier and is
important in the metabolism of sugars and fats.
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid and is found in large amounts
in the muscles of the body, and since it easily pass through the
blood-brain barrier, it is also known as a superb brain fuel, and some
people refer to it as a “smart-vitamin” – although it is in actual fact
no vitamin at all. Glutamic acid, a non-essential amino acid and is
synthesized from a number of amino acids including ornithine and
arginine.
Glutamic Acid is the precursor of GABA but has somewhat the opposite
function; it is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It is one of the few
nutrients that crosses the blood-brain barrier and is the only means by
which ammonia in the brain can be detoxified.
It is considered to be nature's "Brain food" by improving mental
capacities; and is used in the treatment of depression, fatigue,
alcoholism, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, mental retardation, and
schizophrenia .
Glutamine readily passes the blood-brain barrier and increases the
amount of glutamic acid and GABA; thereby enhancing normal nervous
system function. As amino acids chemically change, ammonia is released.
Glutamine plays a role in the removal of this toxic ammonia from the
brain.
Because glutamine's role in the nervous system is so important, during
times of stress, illness, or surgery up to one third of the muscle
stores of glutamine are released for nervous system usage; causing
extensive muscle deterioration and loss. The muscle glutamine release is
much lower if glutamine levels are increased through supplemental
L-glutamine.
Supplemental L-glutamine is also used therapeutically for arthritis,
autoimmune diseases, developmental disabilities, impotence,
schizophrenia, and for tissue damage from cancer radiation treatments.
Supplemental glutamine should not be taken by anyone with a
disproducts/products index that causes an accumulation of ammonia in the
blood (kidney or liver problems, Reye's syndrome, etc.)
The brain primarily uses glutamic acid. It has the ability to pick up
excess ammonia, which inhibits brain functioning, and convert it into
glutamine. Since glutamine produces an elevation of glutamic acid, a
shortage in the diet can result in a shortage of glutamic acid in the
brain.
Glutamine has also been shown to help in the control of alcoholism,
shorten the healing time of ulcers and alleviate fatigue, depression,
and impotence. It has also been used successfully in the treatment of
schizophrenia and senility.
