Objetivo: Descrever informações sobre a suplementação de glutamina (GLN) para tratamento de doenças relacionadas à disbiose intestinal. Métodos: Revisão de literatura a partir de levantamento bibliográfico dos últimos 05 anos nas bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed e Medline. Os artigos foram selecionados a partir das seguintes descritores: Disbiose, Trato gastrointestinal e Glutamina. Dos 83 documentos encontrados, 17 periódicos foram mantidos por agregarem informações relevantes ao tema proposto. Resultados e discussão: Foi possível verificar que a suplementação de GLN, como parte de tratamentos alternativos em casos de doenças associadas à disbiose intestinal, surte efeitos positivos, destacando-se o alívio dos sintomas, estímulo do desenvolvimento do sistema imunológico e melhora da integridade da parede intestinal. Conclusão: A suplementação de GLN aliada à Terapia Nutricional (TN) ainda é amplamente discutida e novas investigações são necessárias, a fim de esclarecer mais sua eficácia.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
