The Role of Glutamine in the Body and Physical Activity

چکیده مقاله

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in human plasma and the intracellular pool of free amino acids in skeletal muscle. It is synthesized and stored primary in skeletal muscle and released into the blood when the metabolic need for this amino acid is present. Its role in the physiology of humans includes catabolism in the gut, liver, kidneys, and cells of immune function. It is classified as a nonessential amino acid due to the body's ability to synthesize it from metabolic intermediates using transamination from branched-chained amino acids (BCAAs)
