... patients with IBS-like symptoms show higher interleukin-13 (IL-13) serum levels and poor psychological well-being. Supplementary glutamine reduced the daily bowel movement frequency, improved the stool form, and normalized intestinal hyperpermeability. This study was aimed at assessing the effects of IL-13...

... the patients susceptible to infections in distant organs, hospital pneumonia, and multiorgan failure of non-infectious etiology. In patients with indication of total parenteral nutrition administration, addition of bombesin or glutamine preserves mucosal immune response and may limit the adverse effects. ©...

..., no significant differences for the individual amino acids are observed with the exception of glutamine and proline, so that damaged coeliac mucosa liberates relatively more glutamine but less proline.

...F. Castro-Bello; F. Ramos; F. Vivanco; C. Marina-Fiol High levels of glutamic acid and normal levels of glutamine were found in the blood of all but one of ten patients with carcinoma of the pancreas. No changes of the concentration in blood of these two amino acids were observed in 49 patients...

..., (2) L- glutamine, given together with ASA, inhibits the adverse effect of ASA. Oral ASA 200 mg/ kg/day, given in two divided doses for 10 consecutive days, apparently delayed the healing of the gastric ulcer and irritated the healed ulcer to reulcerate. L -Glutamine, 1,500 mg/kg/ day, which was given...

Coran Background/Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of oral glutamine in preventing intestinal mucosal damage caused by methotrexate (MTX) in rats...

... a crucial role in the maintenance of intestinal villus integrity. We hypothesize that obstructive jaundice may alter CD44 expression in the rat small intestine and oral glutamine intake can restore the altered CD44 expression in the small intestine of the rat undergoing obstructive jaundice.
