Dietary glutamine prevents the loss of intestinal barrier function and attenuates the increase in core body temperature induced by acute heat exposure.
MouseOtherSwissMaleOral, as a dietary supplement to an isoenergetic and isoproteic AIN-93G dietFed for 7 days before the heat exposure trial
Model: Acute heat stress by exposure to a high ambient temperature of 39 degrees C for 2 h, causing intestinal barrier dysfunction and bacterial translocation
Dietary glutamine supplementation attenuated heat-induced hyperthermia and prevented the increases in intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation, with no correlation between the two effects.
