Key Points: Glutamine is an essential substrate for several key metabolic pathways; Glutamine supplementation is able to modulate the inflammatory and immune response after injury; Glutamine effectively protects the gut funtion during critical illness; The results of recent randomized clinical trials in surgery and in intensive care patients with shock and multiple organ dysfunction suggest no benefit of high dose of glutamine supplementation.
