Description:L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is important for protein synthesis and the maintenance of muscle mass. It is also a precursor for other compounds, such as nucleotides and glutathione, which are required for maintaining cell viability. L-Glutamine may be used to treat bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease, by improving the function of the intestines and reducing intestinal permeability. It has been shown to decrease levels of oxidative injury in cells by acting as an antioxidant. L-Glutamine may also be used to help prevent or treat infectious diseases by increasing the activity of transcription activators that protect cells from oxidative injury. L-Glutamine can be administered intravenously or orally and can be used as a biocompatible polymer carrier for drugs that are difficult to administer due to their poor water solubility.
