An amino acid, Glutamine plays an important role in muscle function during and after exercise. It plays a key role in several essential metabolic processes and is an important modulator of the heat shock protein (HSP) response, a crucial mechanism to maintain cellular homeostasis and to promote cell resistance to injury. It consists of 19% nitrogen, because of which it plays a pivotal role in maintaining nitrogen balance in the body. Additionally over 61% of skeletal muscle is Glutamine, making it crucial for muscle function during and after exercise.
