Abstract:
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body,which is regarded as a conditionally essential amino acid under the conditions of stress and hypermetabolism.It has been proved that glutamine can enhance the proliferation of immune cells and the repair of impaired mucosa and can also improve the nitrogen balance and skeletal muscle protein synthesis.Therefore,it is now more and more widely used in the bone marrow transplantation.The roles of glutamine in the prevention and treatment of bone marrow transplantation-related mucositis and veno-occlusive disease are reviewed in this article.
