L-Glutamine and Whole Protein Restore First-Phase Insulin Response and Increase Glucagon-Like Peptid

[kokhongw]

Anyone has any experience on this?

L-glutamine triggers glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) release from L cells in vitro and when ingested pre-meal, decreases postprandial glycaemia and increases circulating insulin and GLP-1 in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.

Sounds like a good thing to experiment with!

Dr Atkins wrote about using it in New Diet Revolution - I suppose that as he was regarded as a quack doctor with a fad diet no one took any notice.

Thanks. Will read up more along that line.

If I remember, all he said was it helps reduce sugar cravings?

In my 1999 UK edition that is on pgs 149 and 273.
on pg 274 - treatment of hypoglycaemia
on pg 284 for treating binge eating
That is a reprint of an earlier US edition, so there is most likely an association over 30 years old for treatment of problems with sugar, diet and the metabolism, and the use of L glutamine.
Maybe if Dr Atkins had been stricken with diabetes rather than heart problems there'd be more about it - maybe if low carb eating was not so effective at reducing the impact of diabetes it would have got more interest.
