Glutamine, a “nonessential” amino acid, is attracting widespread Attention because of its
relevance to numerous metabolic processes and its potential role in the treatment and
prevention of critical illness. In this paper we review some key concepts of glutamine
biochemistry, metabolism, and nutrition. We then discuss several studies in the area of
glutamine metabolism and nutrition that are primed for further investigation.—Neu, J.,
