Perioperative glutamine supplementation restores the disturbed renal arginine synthesis after open aortic surgery, a randomized controlled clinical trial.

CONCLUSION: Production of citrulline and arginine is severely reduced after clamping during aortic surgery. This study shows that an intravenous supplement of glutamine increases the production of citrulline and arginine, and compensates for the inhibitory effect of ischemia-reperfusion injury.
