PROPERTIES OF GLUTAMINE Glutamine is involved in the synthesis of glutathione (in the liver and kidneys), thus increasing its level in normal tissues, while, paradoxically, it reduces its level in cancerous tissues, thus making them more vulnerable to chemotherapy. Consistent with the above are the results of a study of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia who received glutamine 3 days before the start of multidrug chemotherapy: the patients' diarrhea was less severe and lasted less. Parenteral nutrition and systemic antifungal therapy have also been reduced (Eur J Cancer, 1997, 33: 19-20). Also, in an animal study, glutamine administration accelerated the treatment of enteritis by radiotherapy, while aspirin in peptic ulcers showed significant protective / therapeutic properties (4 x 500 mg, one hour before each meal and at bedtime). Another important property of glutamine is to reduce the desire for alcohol in addicts, while also reducing stress and improving their sleep (Quart J Stud Alcohol, 1957, 18 (4): 581-87). Although under normal conditions glutamine is an unnecessary amino acid (ie the body can synthesize the necessary amounts for it), in conditions of intense physical stress (eg cancer, surgery or other injuries, burns, septic conditions, severe Exercise) glutamine becomes an essential amino acid, whenever glutamine supplements acquire special value.
* Some distinguished physicians, such as Andrew Weil, recommend antioxidant supplements after the end of cytotoxic therapy (chemotherapy / radiotherapy) and not during it, on the grounds that otherwise the antioxidants would protect against it. and cancer cells. Glutamine, by selectively protecting normal cells, is of particular value during cytotoxic therapy. Note: The letter L before the name of an amino acid indicates that the amino acid is not synthetic, but comes from natural sources.
