Glutamine, a “nonessential” amino acid, is attracting widespread Attention because of its relevance to numerous metabolic processes and its potential role in the treatment and prevention of critical illness. In this paper we review some key concepts of glutamine biochemistry, metabolism, and nutrition. We then discuss several studies in the area of glutamine metabolism and nutrition that are primed for further investigation.—Neu, J., Shenoy, V., Chakrabarti, R.
