OBJECTIVE
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can be associated with diarrhea and other gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Reducing these side effects may improve treatment durability and quality of life (QOL). This study assessed the impact of nutritional co-therapies known to reduce
We evaluated the efficacy of oral glutamine supplementation in children 2 to 60 months of age with persistent diarrhea by 1:1 randomization to standard treatment alone or together with twice daily glutamine. The failure rate was similar in both arms (relative risk: 1.8 [95% confidence interval:
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether L-glutamine decreases the severity of nelfinavir-associated diarrhea in HIV-infected individuals. Other endpoints include the effect on quality of life, muscle-wasting syndrome, CD4 counts, and viral load.
METHODS
HIV-infected patients with nelfinavir-associated
The clinical efficacy of glutamine in the control of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis, including as many randomized control trails (RCTs) as possible, to clarify the effectiveness of prophylactic glutamine in patients requiring
OBJECTIVE
Recurring diarrhea and persistent diarrhea are commonly associated with malnutrition and long-term functional deficits. A beneficial approach would be to develop an alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln)-based oral rehydration and nutrition therapy (ORNT). We investigated the effect of an AlaGln-ORNT
BACKGROUND
Glutamine is absorbed in the intestinal tract coupled with sodium and is the principal metabolic substrate for the enterocyte. Therefore, an oral rehydration solution containing this substance might provide an effective oral means of restoring electrolyte losses as well as speeding repair
BACKGROUND
Glutamine is a neutral amino acid that is used by rapidly dividing cells such as erythrocytes, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts. It is also the substrate of glutathione synthesis. In normal metabolic rates, glutamine is an amino acid synthesized endogenously, but in high metabolic conditions
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of lactose induced diarrhea on the key enzymes of glutamine metabolism in skeletal muscle and small intestine, in rats. As compared to weight paired controls, animals with diarrhea presented higher muscle glutamine synthetase activity associated with
To study the effect of glutamine supplementation on lymphocyte subpopulation counts in children with acute diarrhea, children aged 6-24 months were enrolled in a double-blind randomized study. Cases had received either 0.3 g/kg/day of glutamine or placebo orally for seven days. The counts of blood
OBJECTIVE
Glutamine is an important fuel for rapidly dividing cells such as enterocytes and lymphocytes. Exogenous glutamine supplementation in catabolic states preserves intestinal mucosal structure and function, decreases bacterial translocation, and supports normal immunologic responses. This
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the nutrient effect of glutamine on small intestinal repair in weanling rats after chronic diarrhea.
METHODS
Forty 21-day-old wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups (8 in each). Animal model of chronic diarrhea was induced by a lactose enriched diet in the
OBJECTIVE
In a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial we compared the efficacy of adding 90 mmol/L L-glutamine to the standard World Health Organization oral rehydration salts (WHO-ORS).
METHODS
One hundred twenty male infants, > 1 month and < 1 year of age, with acute non-cholera
Glutamine is the major fuel for the gut as well as for many cells in the immune system that becomes conditionally essential during catabolic states. Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal mucosal repair and function. Glutamine, even at high doses, is without side effects and is well
Dietary glutamine has been suggested to preserve structural and functional integrity of the gut and high dose bolus glutamine has been hypothesized to protect against potentially fatal endotoxic shock, hyperthermic stress, and side effects of chemotherapy. In this study, we aimed to relate the
OBJECTIVE
A phase III, randomized, double-blind study was conducted by the North Central Cancer Treatment Group to determine the efficacy and toxicity of oral glutamine for the prevention of acute diarrhea in patients receiving pelvic radiation therapy (RT).
METHODS
All 129 patients enrolled from 14
