Talk:Glutamine

message: I've modified this:
In people living with diseases that put long term strain on the immune system (like HIV), glutamine is burned at a higher rate. Glutamine is also used in the digestive process and -- if not supplemented -- can lead to wasting.
Glutamine may have something to do with cachexia, but the relationship between the two things is certainly not as simple as this implies. It would be nice to be able to quote a reference here. -- Someone else 02:52 Apr 12, 2003 (UTC)
=== Theraputic uses of glutamine ===
My wife, who has undergone radiation treatment to her abdominal area and is now suffering from radiation enteritis, was told by her physician that glutamine supplementation has been shown to help heal the villi lining the bowel.  My subsequent reading on the web has indicated this to be a commonly accepted treatment regimen for people with radiation enteritis, irritable bowel disease, or other similar problems.  Glutamine also is prescribed to HIV patients, and to patients receiving radiation and chemotherapy. -- unsigned
=== Adverse effects ===
This article concentrates on adverse effects of glutamine consumption.  However, it gives zero references.  This article desperately needs some work in this area.  In particular, someone who knows this stuff needs to firm up the documentation.  I'm not a biochemist, so I don't know how much of this information is well-supported and how much is hearsay.

:OK, most of this page was a copyvio.  I removed the offending material and put a link to the source Gwimpey 06:18, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
Someone might want to add a reference to bipolar disorder and glutamine. I just tried it to help with ulcerative colitis and it caused a bipolar flare. A Google search of glutamine and bipolar disorder got instant hits.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dixon pete (talk • contribs) 16:15, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Puhh, pretty much of this small knowledge stuff in this article. Since i just finished my diploma thesis on the cellular glutamine metabolism, i guess to have a clue about this topic. I did only delete minor aspects and commented those while doing so. But i rearranged the article and grouped the nutrition part aside of the use. Furthermore, i added functions and listed the producing and consuming organs. I did not go too much into detail, because you could fill pages about glutamine metabolism alone. The collection of the as i call them "small knowledges" i grouped them under Examples for the usage of glutamine. Interesting further functions of glutamine are found in the role in the immune system, tumor metabolism and in the glutamine glutamate cycle of the CNS. But these areas are not presented structured up to now. Maybe i do that later.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galahadin (talk • contribs) 13:59, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

message: May I please ask what is wrong with the idea of indicating on this page that cooked food contains no glutamine useful to the human body?  I've attempted three times now to add this to the document only to find it reverted because the references weren't quite kosher.  One only needs to google for "glutamine cooked OR cooking" to see that just about ever page on this subject indicates that cooking destroys glutamine.  The last time I changed the page, it wasn't simply reverted, but ALL references to raw food were removed.  Even ones I didn't add.
I can understand that from a scientific viewpoint, the glutamine might not actually be destroyed by cooking, but cooking removes 100% of glutamines usefulness to the human body, and this is a page about nutrition right? CrazyEddy (talk) 13:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just add a WP:RS and your all set. Although I fail to see how it's relevant when the only people who benefit from this chemical are people who either had surgery or have some serious intestinal problems in which case they wouldn't cook it before using it.

replies: text: Here's one: . Two more quotes from the same page: "Glutamine is not in these products [powdered protein supplements for bodybuilding] because heat is used during the processing of powdered supplements, and glutamine is destroyed at high temperatures.", and "Most liquid protein supplements also do not contain additional glutamine. At room temperature, glutamine gradually degrades and loses its potency. The actual quantity of glutamine cannot be ensured unless the formula is kept refrigerated. However, glutamine powder can be added to a liquid protein supplement, which should then be refrigerated and used w/in several days." --Jerome Potts (talk) 06:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

message: This article sometimes refer to "Glutamine" and others to "L-Glutamine". the "L-" prefix is explained in Amino acid#Isomerism and in Optical isomerism#By configuration: D- and L-, but i had to hunt for it.

This is all bullshit. Taken as a suppository? absorbed in the lower intestine? precursor for DNA? DNA is made out of nucleotides, NOT amino acids, and nothing is absorbed in the colon except for water...wtf. delete this page...its moe accurate as a stub stating its an amino acid.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.181.111 (talk) 08:03, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

message: This article quotes from a website that is from a company that is attempting to promote and sell its product (source #2). This is in violation of Wikipedia source policy. Also source #17 leads to LIVESTRONG.com, again a website that would not be considered credible in an academic setting. Additionally, neither of these sources are cited correctly.

message: User:TenBingo here and again here,  you added the unsourced section:
;Benefits of Glutamine & Uses 
	
* Glutamine is eternal nutrition helps reduce the rate of deaths in trauma and critically ill patients as per researcher.
* Treat multiple organ dysfunction with other injuries among people in the ICU.
and you added:
People who suffer from IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease) may not have enough glutamine.
So...
* Per WP:BRD when you are reverted, the correct thing to do is open a Talk discussion, as I am doing here.  
* Per WP:BURDEN, if you add unsourced content (which you should not do in the first place), you must provide a source if you want to restore it
* The reference you did use is very poor quality and cannot be used to support content about health.  Please read and follow WP:MEDRS.  If you don't understand MEDRS after you read it, please ask.

message: There is a good deal of anecdotal evidence that glutamine may be effective in reducing anxiety and dampening carbohydrate and alcohol cravings, especially used short-term. From a theoretical perspective, glutamine is a precursor to GABA and does pass the blood-brain barrier, so this is prima facie possible.  Unfortunately, a quick Google brought up nothing but sites selling it or or other poor sources. I don't have easy access to a good university library; it seems to me worth following up. If anyone has good library journal resources, or better search techniques, I would like to see this followed up or at least mentioned as "not proven" as the Scots say. If I can find any decent cite at all, I will put in a one-liner.
In general, IMO, WP should document issues like this even if they are highly controversial, in fact especially if they are controversial — as indeed many good articles do. This may sound like preaching to the choir, but I remember reading on a talk page that an editor removed considerable material because it was controversial or didn't fit the "general consensus" view — it does happen.  The essence, of course is NPOV. And good references. There are "alternative" medical treatments that as a scientist & mathematician I consider mathematically impossible — but they need to be documented if they are at all notable.
