1. Glutamine to ICU patients
Sammanfattning : Intravenous glutamine supplementation to intensive care patients using a glutamine containing dipeptide is now widely accepted in clinical practice. There are evidences that glutamine supplementation of ICU patients in need of parenteral nutrition improves mortality and morbidity. LÄS MER
2. Regulation of Glutamine Synthetase in the Diazotroph Rhodospirillum rubrum
Sammanfattning : The bacterial cell needs ammonia for synthesis of glutamine from glutamate. Only one enzyme is able to catalyze this reaction, namely glutamine synthetase (GS). GS can be regulated both transcriptionally and post-translationally and it is present in all kingdoms of life. LÄS MER
3. Glutamate Turnover and Energy Metabolism in Brain Injury : Clinical and Experimental Studies
Sammanfattning : During brain activity neurons release the major excitatory transmitter glutamate, which is taken up by astrocytes and converted to glutamine. Glutamine returns to neurons for re-conversion to glutamate. This glutamate-glutamine cycle is energy demanding. LÄS MER
4. Growth and integrity of the small intestine in malnutrition and trauma
Sammanfattning : The small intestine is an active metabolic organ constituting a functional and immunologic barrier to toxins and microbes in the intestinal lumen. Injuries are repaired by rapid cell replication, which depends on nutritional and humoral growth factors. Glutamine has been suggested to be the most important nutrient for the enterocytes. LÄS MER
5. Astrocyte metabolism following focal cerebral ischemia
Sammanfattning : Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death. Most often, stroke results from blockage of an artery in the brain leading to tissue infarction within the perfusion territory of the affected vessel. LÄS MER
