Abstract :
AbstractThe use of glutamine supplements is associated with the effect on functional indicators in various systems, including the neuromuscular and renal systems. Since research on the effect of glutamine on kidney function indicators is limited, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of glutamine consumption on serum uric acid and creatinine levels following a selected activity session in young non-athletes.Methods: 30 young non-athletes were randomly divided into two groups of 15 each. The first group used glutamine and the second group used placebo. This study was conducted in a 20-minute session including 5-minute periods of stair test with one-minute rest intervals, three stages of glutamine and placebo consumption, and five blood draws.Results: A two-way ANOVA test with repeated measurements showed that 24 to 72 hours after the end of sports activity, the amount of serum uric acid and creatinine in the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group.Conclusion: According to the results of the present research and comparing it with other researches, it is possible that the use of glutamine at a daily rate of 0.4 grams per kilogram of body weight following the stair test and weight bearing at the same time can have a protective effect on the urinary system, especially the kidneys. . Carrying out additional research with other doses of glutamine supplementation in patient and athlete communities and on other functional indicators in the kidneys will open a new scientific perspective.
