Abstract:
Sepsis causes marked derangements in the flow of glutamine among organs.During sepsis,skeletal muscle exhibits increase in glutamine release which is associated with a significant increase in endogenous glutamine biosynthesis.However, the release rates exceed that of synthesis.The liver appears to be the major organ of glutamine uptake,the bowel displays a decrease in glutamine utilization and the cells of the immune system are also major glutamine consumers.
