In vivo ROS production and use of oxidative stress-derived biomarkers to detect the onset of diseases such as Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, and diabetes
Significantly, skeletal muscle serves as a crucial target for managing hyperglycemia, accounting for roughly 80% of postprandial insulin-mediated glucose absorption and is essential for maintaining glucose equilibrium (Nia et al., 2002
Driven by persistent hyperglycemia, target organ damage in T2D results from cellular stress, overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and protein kinase C (PKC) activation, ultimately leading to the development of microvascular and macrovascular diseases

Moreover, in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial enrolling 1200 patients, survival to hospital discharge was 40 days in the Gln-supplementation group versus 38 days in the placebo group
