BACKGROUND: We hypothesised, that perioperative use of N (2)-l-alanyl-l-glutamine
confers cardioprotection and improves insulin resistance in diabetic patients with coronary …

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the cardioprotective effects of
the perioperative use of N (2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine (GLN) in patients with ischemic heart …

Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative glutamine infusion in reducing insulin
requirements in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, defined as glycated hemoglobin …

Purpose Myocardial injury due to on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in
patients with low ejection fraction (EF) is associated with poor outcomes. This study …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of pre-operative L-alanyl-glutamine (L-Ala-Gln) on blood
glucose control in patients with coronary obstruction, selected for myocardial …

Background Glutamate is reported to enhance the recovery of oxidative metabolism and
contractile function of the heart after ischemia. The effect appears to be blunted in diabetic …

AIM: Experimental studies have demonstrated that an exogenous supply of glutamate
improves mechanical function and recovery of ischemic myocardium. The aim of the present …

Background and Objective: Glutamine (GLN) has been shown to protect against in vitro and
in vivo myocardial injury. In humans, perioperative ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury during …

In a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study, the effects of intravenous glutamate
infusion on myocardial haemodynamics and metabolism were studied in 22 patients …

Background Preoperative poor nutrition greatly raises the risk of complications and
increases length of stay (LOS). Glutamine deficiency may impair immune functions, reduce …
