L-glutamine
Is this stuff worth taking?
From the gnc website: "Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role glutamine plays in protein synthesis and its action as a potent anabolic agent. When muscle glutamine levels are restored and in a positive nitrogen balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate. Glutamine also has actions on glucose metabolism and the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Glutamine converts to glucose without changes in either insulin or glucagen, the hormones that regulate blood sugar. During dieting, and times of carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of body fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass. " (How can it convert to glucose without affecting insulin or gucagon?) -- Mogget, the Churl in the Puce Greatcoat |

" :: :: (How can it convert to glucose without affecting insulin or gucagon?) In the body of a T2D, protein can convert to glucose without significantly affecting insulin. It's a matter of degree. It's not as if you're going to be dumping tons of L-glut in your body, as you wouldn't normallly overeat protein (which could affect BG levels on a meat binge, for example). |
