Glutamine has become more prominent as new studies reveal it's unique
contribution to protein synthesis (muscle growth), anti-proteolytic
(prevents muscle tissue breakdown) functions and growth hormone
elavating effects. Glutamine is the most abundant single amino acid in
the blood and in the intracellular free amino acid pool (most abundant
amino acid in muscle tissue). It comprises 61% of the amino acid pool in
skeletal muscle. Glutamine's unique structure, containing two nitrogen
side chains, consists of 19% nitrogen - making it the primary
transporter of nitrogen into the muscle cell. In fact, glutamine alone
is responsible for 35% of the nitrogen that gets into the muscle cell.
Glutamine literally drives muscle building nitrogen into the muscle cell
where it is synthesized for growth. Glutamine concentrations fall
markedly after training and remain low until complete recovery. This
fall in glutamine is catabolic to muscle tissue. Supplementing with
glutamine spares free glutamine in muscle tissue, counteracts the fall
in muscle protein synthesis, and improves nitrogen balance.
