Gutamine as ergogenic resource in practice of physical exercise
Abstract
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in plasma and muscle tissue, but hyper catabolic situations may be classified as conditionally essential amino acid. The intense and prolonged exercise can reduce the plasma concentration of glutamine that is involved in various functions, such as proliferation and development of cells, acid balance, ammonia transportation between tissues, donation of carbon skeletons for gluconeogenesis and participation in antioxidant system. Glutamine is critical for the functionality of the immune system because it is the main precursor of energy and macromolecules into the lymphocyte. The aimwas to analyze published research in the last 10 years involving the influence of the use of glutamine supplementation on the immune system and performance inphysical exercise. Supplementation of glutamine combined with exercise has been effective in fighting infections, mainly the ITRS. The glutamine dipeptide supplement looks good alternative due to higher stability and the presence of gluconeogenic substrate, however, remains without scientific support effective in improving athletic performance, more research is needed to elucidate the ergogenic role of glutamine supplementation.
