Co-ingestion of glutamine and leucine synergistically promotes mTORC1 activation

Abstract: Leucine (Leu) regulates protein synthesis and degradation via activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Glutamine (Gln) synergistically promotes mTORC1 activation with Leu via glutaminolysis and Leu absorption via an antiporter. However, Gln has also been shown to inhibit mTORC1 activity. To resolve this paradox, we aimed to elucidate the effects of Gln on Leu-mediated mTORC1 activation. We administered Leu, Gln, tryptophan, Leu + Gln, or Leu + tryptophan to mice after 24-h fasting. The m… Show more

“…To support this notion, synergistic promotive effect of Gln on Leu-mediated mTORC1 activation has been reported. 18 STZ-HFD-Cltrn1/y demonstrated the increased phosphorylation of mTOR, and we observed reversed activation of mTOR in STZ-HFD-Cltrn2/y associated with increased AAs excretion into urine. We further investigated the status of autophagy downstream of mTORC1 in the kidney tissues.…”

“…That the myocardial protection from oxygen glucose deprivation/ re-oxygenation-induced oxidative injury runs by Nrf2 through activating Ang2-AT2 and VEGF-A for activating heme oxygenase and heme Biosynthesis through running anti-inflammatory growth, where NO and NO donors (NO mechanism) serve as a signaling molecule in the modulating tissue stress response and protect tissue from oxygen glucose deprivation. Furthermore, Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) showed neuroprotective effects on the bladder of diabetic rats, as shown by the increased expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) and decreased expression of the precursor of nerve growth factor (proNGF) [54]. It's clear that Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract "GSPE" contains enough necessary amino acids as Glu, tryptophan, Thr, Ser which are having the roles of reactivating pyrimidine and purines kinases which are necessary for reactivating Estrogen productions from estradiol (from pro-inflammation and accumulated cholesterol) followed by activating glucocorticoidbeta and B-arrestins synthesis where GCs-beta begin to promote both mineralocorticoid and followed by B Adrenergic production which will activate Nrf2 synthesis for activating both Ang2-AT2 and VEGF-A synthesis which activate NGF with adoption to antioxidative functional activity with the concomitant adopting the elevation of downstream hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), where NO and NO donors (NO mechanism) serve as a signaling molecule in the modulating tissue stress response for protect from oxygen glucose deprivations and from its elevations too.…”

Also, L-leucine increases GDH activity and stimulates glutamate synthesis from different nitrogen sources by regulating mTORC1 [59].…”
