AIM To investigate the relationship between alanyl-glutamine (ALA-GLN) and glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis in hepatic protection.METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: one receiving standard parenteral nutrition (STD) and the other supplemented with or without ALA-GLN for 7 days. The blood and liver tissue samples were examined after 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was injected peritoneally.RESULTS The concentration measurements were significantly higher in ALA-GLN group than in STD group in serum GLN (687 μmol/ L±50 μmol/ L vs 505 μmol/ L±39 μmol/ L, P<0.05), serum GSH (14 μmol/ L±5 μmol/ L vs 7 μmol/ L±3 μmol/ L, P<0.01) and in liver GSH content (6.9 μmol/ g±2.5 μmol/ g vs 4.4 μmol/ g±1.6 μmol/ g liver tissue, P<0.05). Rats in ALA-GLN group had lesser elevations in hepatic enzymes after 5-FU administration.CONCLUSION The supplemented nutrition ALA-GLN can protect the liver function through increasing the glutathione biosynthesis and preserving the glutathione stores in hepatic tissue.
