Open Access Abstract Introduction Glutamine supplementation has beneficial effects on morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients possibly in part through an attenuation of the proinflammatory cytokine response and a stimulation of heat shock protein HSP 70. We infused either alanine-glutamine or saline during endotoxin challenge and measured plasma cytokines and HSP70 protein expression. Methods This crossover study conducted in eight healthy young men was double-blind randomized and placebo-controlled. It was performed on 2 trial days separated by a 4week washout period. The volunteers received an infusion of alanine-glutamine at a rate of g kg body weight X hour or saline for 10 hours. After 2 hours an intravenous
