متن کاملThe Effect of L-Glutamine on Pain Crisis Reduction in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Sickle β°-Thalassemia
Background: A low level of L-glutamine, a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in red blood cells (RBCs), is identified as an underlying mechanism for the potential decrement of the NAD redox and the incidence of pain crisis in sickle cell anemia (SCA). The aim of this study is to assess the impact of oral L-glutamine therapy on pain crisis reduction in patients with SCA and sic...
