์์ฉ ๊ธฐ์ : Glutamine serves multiple vital physiological functions: - **Enterocyte Fuel:** It is the primary metabolic fuel for rapidly dividing cells, particularly intestinal enterocytes and immune cells (lymphocytes, macrophages). Glutamine is metabolized via **glutaminase** to glutamate, which is then converted to alpha-ketoglutarate to enter the **TCA (Krebs) cycle** for ATP production. - **Precursor Molecule:** It acts as a crucial nitrogen donor and precursor for the synthesis of **glutathione** (a major intracellular antioxidant), purines, pyrimidines, and other amino acids. - **Mucosal Integrity:** By providing direct energy to the gut lining, it stimulates intestinal cell proliferation and differentiation, helping to maintain tight junctions and prevent increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") during times of severe stress or mucosal injury.

- Severe hepatic insufficiency
- Severe behavior disorders
- Epilepsy or seizure disorders
์ด์๋ฐ์
- Generally well tolerated
- Potential CNS effects at very high dosages
- Increased serum ammonia or glutamate levels
์ฝ๋ฌผ ์ํธ์์ฉ
- Anticonvulsant medications (e.g., phenobarbital, potassium bromide) ยท Glutamine could potentially decrease the efficacy of antiseizure medications because it is partially converted into glutamate, which acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS.
- Lactulose ยท Theoretically, glutamine may antagonize the ammonia-lowering effects of lactulose in patients being treated for hepatic encephalopathy.
๋ชจ๋ํฐ๋ง
- Clinical efficacy (improvement in GI signs, weight maintenance)
- Serum ammonia levels (in patients with compromised liver function)
- Serum glutamate levels

Overdosages are unlikely to be harmful in healthy animals. In humans, intravenous doses of up to 40 grams per day have been tolerated without ill effects. However, because glutamine is partially metabolized to ammonia, patients with pre-existing hepatic insufficiency (liver disease) may be adversely affected and could develop signs of hepatic encephalopathy.
