@tngflx a very interesting post but can you please clarify if glutamine and glutamate (aka glutamic acid) have the same effects on cancer cell requirements? In your post you use glutamine and glutamate interchangeably but they are different amino acids. Also, deamidation of glutamine via glutaminase produces glutamate which is a precursor of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter.
