Glutamine and alanyl-glutamine promote crypt expansion and mTOR signaling in murine enteroids.
L-glutamine (Gln) is a key metabolic fuel for intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and survival and may be conditionally essential for gut homeostasis during catabolic states. We show that L-alanyl-L-glutamine (Ala-Gln), a stable Gln dipeptide, protects mice against jejunal crypt depletion in the setting of dietary protein and fat deficiency. Separately, we show that murine crypt cultures (...
متن کاملOral administration of alanyl-glutamine and glutamine improve random pattern dorsal skin flap survival in rats
Objective(s): Skin flap necrosis is the most common postoperative side effect in reconstructive surgeries. Glutamine (GLN) has been shown to accelerate wound healing process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of GLN either in free form or in the dipeptide form along with L- alanyl (Ala-GLN) on random skin flaps survival in rats.Materials and Methods: Dorsal skin flaps with c...
متن کاملL-Alanyl-Glutamine Attenuates Oxidative Stress in Liver Transplantation Patients.
BACKGROUND Ischemia/reperfusion injury during liver transplantation can cause severe damage to the graft. The objective of this randomized, double-blind study was to evaluate the possible protective effects of L-alanyl-glutamine on the liver graft. METHODS The sample included 33 patients from a liver transplantation service in Northeastern Brazil. Before cold ischemia, the patients received 5...
متن کاملGlutamine and Alanyl-Glutamine Increase RhoA Expression and Reduce Clostridium difficile Toxin-A-Induced Intestinal Epithelial Cell Damage
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated colitis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Glutamine (Gln) is a major fuel for the intestinal cell population. Alanyl-glutamine (Ala-Gln) is a dipeptide that is highly soluble and well tolerated. IEC-6 cells were used in the in vitro experiments. Cell morphology was evaluated by atomic force microscopy (AFM...
متن کاملAlanyl-glutamine and glutamine plus alanine supplements improve skeletal redox status in trained rats: involvement of heat shock protein pathways.
AIMS We hypothesized that oral l-glutamine supplementations could attenuate muscle damage and oxidative stress, mediated by glutathione (GSH) in high-intensity aerobic exercise by increasing the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70) and heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). MAIN METHODS Adult male Wistar rats were 8-week trained (60-min/day, 5 days/week) on a treadmill. During the last 21 days, the animal...
