• Glutamine and glutamate—their central role in cell metabolism and function (2003, background): “Given the importance of plasma glutamine to cell function, it is not surprising that dietary supplementation or parenteral nutrition can improve the outcome for critically ill patients, post-surgical patients or those recovering from injury.(29,57) The rationale for glutamine supplementation is base”
• Glutamine and cancer: cell biology, physiology, and clinical opportunities. (2013, background): “Although most tissues can synthesize glutamine, during periods of rapid growth or other stresses, demand outpaces supply, and glutamine becomes conditionally essential (7).”
