We investigated the effect of supplementation with L-glutamine and L-alanyl-L-glutamine (DIP) on the plasma and tissue glutamine concentrations of exercise-trained rats immediately and 3 hours after a single exercise session until exhaustion.
The changes observed in the amino acid contents of muscle , liver , and plasma are consistent with the increase in protein degradation during exercise that we previously reported.
The complex of metabolic derangements of protein in cancer patients may be reflected by alteration in the plasma free amino acid profile.
The determination of Tumor M2 Pyruvate Kinase (Tumor M2-PK) in EDTA plasma has been described as a tumor marker in a variety of different tumor types.
