Glutamine administration ameliorates sepsis-induced kidney injury by downregulating the high-mobility group box protein-1-mediated pathway in mice

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of sepsis. High-mobility group box (HMGB)-1 was implicated as a late mediator of lethal systemic inflammation in sepsis. Since glutamine (GLN) was shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, we hypothesized that GLN administration ma...
