Potential therapeutic implications of ergogenic compounds on pathophysiology induced by traumatic brain injury: A narrative review
2019, Life SciencesCitation Excerpt :In this regard, glutathione peroxidase neutralizes hydrogen peroxide, being the best known pathway by which glutamine controls ROS levels [206]. In physical exercises, for instance, glutamine supplementation is reported to occur during recovery after marathon running [207,208]. The ergogenic benefits are related to increased strength, quicker recovery, decreased infection frequency [209], prevention of overtraining [210], decreased proinflammatory cytokines [211], and intestinal permeability [212], along with increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels [207,213].
The effect of glutamine supplementation on athletic performance, body composition, and immune function: A systematic review and a meta-analysis of clinical trials
2019, Clinical NutritionCitation Excerpt :In these ways, GLN can play a protective role in the stabilization of the intestinal wall [55]. Nevertheless, most of the studies failed to demonstrate any significant effect of GLN intake on the values of CD4+ and CD8+ [14,42,43,48], NK cells activity [14,43,84], B cell counts [14], s-IgA [1,47,84], plasma levels of Ig A, M and G [50,52,54], leukocyte numbers [14,16,41,43,45,48–50], lymphocyte counts [14,16,41–45,48,49], neutrophil numbers [16,42,43,45,48,49], monocyte numbers [43,48,49], plasma concentration of complements [14,50,52], CRP [14], neopterine [14], IL-6 [14], IFɣ [14], ConA stimulated proliferative response [43], LAK [42–44], PHA proliferative response [42,43], and phagocyte activity [50,52]. Based on these findings, it is more likely that GLN does not affect immunosuppression, as has been remarked by athletes.
