However, in times of stress \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eor increased energy output, the body's tissues need more L-glutamine than usual. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eAwareness of the effects of physical stress and the stress created by aging and \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\"dis-eased\" bodies is driving demand for L-Glutamine supplements. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eL-Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003einterest. Skeletal muscle contains the greatest intracellular concentration of glutamine, \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ecomprising up to 60 percent of total body glutamine stores, and is considered the  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eprimary storage depot of glutamine, and thus the primary exporter of glutamine to \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eother tissues. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ethe body may require more glutamine than it can produce. During metabolic stress, \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eglutamine is released into circulation where it is transported to the tissue in need. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eIntracellular skeletal muscle glutamine concentration is affected by various assaults \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eincluding injury, sepsis, prolonged stress, and starvation. Under these circumstances \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eGlutamine may be considered a \"conditionally essential\" amino acid. Glutamine is \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003einvolved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state whereby muscle \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ecan grow) and also is the primary metabolic fuel for rapidly growing cells (immune \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003esystem lymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes). In addition, Glutamine is a \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eregulator of acid-base balance and the body’s primary nitrogen transporter to muscle \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003ecells.
