Descripción

Application

• Low-protein diet supplemented with 1% L-glutamine improves growth performance, serum biochemistry, redox status, plasma amino acids, and alters fecal microbiota in weaned piglets.: This study demonstrates how L-glutamine supplementation in a low-protein diet can significantly enhance growth metrics and overall health in weaned piglets (Li et al., 2024).


• Functionalization of β-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks with gelatin and glutamine for drug delivery of curcumin to cancerous cells.: This article covers the development of a novel drug delivery system using glutamine-modified frameworks for targeted cancer therapy (Sadeh et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

La L-glutamina es un aminoácido esencial que es un componente crucial de los medios de cultivo donde actúa como una fuente importante de energía para las células en cultivo. La L-glutamina es muy estable en forma de polvo seco y de disolución congelada. En los medios líquidos o las disoluciones de reserva, sin embargo, la L-glutamina se degrada con relativa rapidez. El rendimiento celular óptimo normalmente requiere la suplementación de los medios con L-glutamina antes de su uso.
