Effect of glutamine on leucine metabolism in humans

The aim of this study was to determine whether the putative protein anabolic effect of glutamine 1) is mediated by increased protein synthesis or decreased protein breakdown and 2) is specific to glutamine. Seven healthy adults were administered 5-h intravenous infusions of L-[1-14C]leucine in the p...
