Abstract
Abstract:
Background and purpose: intense physical activity can acutely and transiently cause an increase in inflammatory factors, especially the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Glutamine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in human blood plasma, which has anti-inflammatory effects. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of acute glutamine supplementation following an eccentric and exhausting physical activity on C-reactive protein.
Materials and methods: 16 available young male athletes were randomly selected and placed in 2 equal groups (n=8) of placebo and 0.3 glutamine. The subjects took part in an eccentric test and the increasing helplessness test of Bruce. Individuals were given glutamine supplement or placebo for each kilogram of body weight immediately after the eccentric test and Bruce's increasing helplessness test. C-reactive protein was measured before, immediately, 1, 24 and 48 hours after the test. The results were checked using the repeated measurement test and a significance level of P≥0.05 was considered.
Findings: The results showed that there was no significant difference between the placebo group and the glutamine group immediately after the test, 1 hour and 48 hours after the test, but a significant difference was observed 24 hours after the test (0.015).
Conclusion:. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the time group - 1 hour - 24 hours in both placebo and glutamine groups. According to the results of the present study and some previous studies, it can be said that glutamine can probably be effective in preventing and adjusting inflammatory conditions and C-reactive protein; But a definitive statement in this regard depends on further research and studies
