N-acetyl-L-Glutamine

N-acetyl-L-Glutamine is an acetylated form of the conditionally essential amino acid L-glutamine (Cay-23716). It decreases infarct volume and prevents neuronal apoptosis in the substantia nigra in a rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). N-acetyl-L-Glutamine (8.28 g/animal per day) prevents decreases in body weight in protein-energy malnourished pigs. Formulations containing N-acetyl-L-glutamine have been used as dietary supplements.Formal Name: N2-acetyl-L-glutamine. CAS Number: 2490-97-3.
