Background Animal and human data suggest that glutamate can enhance recovery of
myocardial metabolism and function after ischemia. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide …

Background Glutamate, a key intermediate in myocardial metabolism, may enhance
myocardial recovery after ischemia and possibly reduce the incidence and severity of …

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 …

Importance Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is associated with increased
morbidity and mortality, and measures to prevent AKI have had limited success. Glutamate …

OBJECTIVE: Glutamate has been claimed to protect the heart from ischemia and to facilitate
metabolic and hemodynamic recovery after ischemia. The GLUTAmate for Metabolic …

Background Intravenous glutamate reduced the risk of developing severe circulatory failure
after isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) for acute coronary syndrome …

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 …

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

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

Objective: To develop a simple and reliable method for quantitating plasma glutamate
concentration and apply this method to monitor systemic glutamate levels during coronary …
