Targeting metabolism to influence aging
Glutamine has a host of metabolic functions, including biosynthesis, redox maintenance, and chromatin biology. Drugs are currently available to target glutamine and related metabolism. However, the use of these compounds has been limited by finding appropriate applications because the role of #glutamine in health and disease is still poorly understood. Some studies have pointed to a limited role of glutamine #metabolism in vivo; others have found specific roles in critical ar
