“Subsequent experiments with A549 and H460 lung tumor cell lines provided additional evidence for glutamine ’s role in driving synthesis and excretion of GSH.”
“Animal studies are suggesting that GLN could actually decrease tumour growth by upregulating the immune system and through a regulation of the redox status associated to the metabolism of glutathione.”

“ Glutamine administration increased GSH levels (7.6 ± 1.7 nmol/mg protein vs. 4.03 ± 0.5 in control, p < 0.05) and reduced lipid‐peroxidation (MDA 2.45 ± 0.7 nmol/mg of protein vs. 6.54 ± 1.7 in control; p < 0.05).”

“Supplementation with glutamine influences uptake by both the gut and the immune system, as evidenced by increased mucosal glutamine concentrations and gut glutathione production.”
“Furthermore, Gln exerts potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the circulation by inducing the expression of heme oxygenase-1, heat shock proteins, and glutathione.”

“ Glutamine withdrawal depletes the endogenous antioxidant glutathione ( GSH ), which results in the oxidation of OCT4 cysteine residues required for its DNA binding and enhanced OCT4 degradation.”
