Glutamine
Glutamine
Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. It is not recognized as an essential amino acid but may become conditionally essential in certain situations, including intensive athletic training or certain gastrointestinal disorders. Its side-chain is an amide formed by replacing the side-chain hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group. Therefore, it can be considered the amide of glutamic acid. Its codons are CAA and CAG. In human blood, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid, with a concentration of about 500-900 µmol/l.
Glutamine is the amino acid present in muscle tissues. Effects of glutamine administration are: prevent muscle cell damage during hard workouts and faster recovery after, stimulates the production of growth hormone accelerates muscle growth. It should be taken before and after training.
L-Glutamine amino acid was first isolated in 1883 and synthesized only in 1933. It has a spreading ubiquitous, both as free, and bound. Plays a key role in the smooth running of many body functions. Glutamic acid is the precursor which in turn is the precursor to GABA (neurotransmitter).
Also, the amino acid L-glutamine is free who are in the greatest amount of blood and muscle cells. Represents 61% of the total amino acids present in muscle cells. In the structure there are two amino groups (nitrogen), one of which releases light and so is the main "carrier" of nitrogen in the cells. It is known that 35% of the nitrogen that is transported access muscle cell glutamine. Nitrogen Once in the cell, will be used in the processes of synthesis and growth.
