speaking in layman's terms is a common saying. I just thought it was ironic for a professor to have that as his last name, as that is what his profession entails. chalk it up to a somewhat nerdish sense of humor

the juvenile interpretation hadn't crossed my mind

Glutamine is a precursor to both glutamate (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory), but if Layne's research holds true (I believe it does and has been amply demonstrated), I would suggest that the hepatic gluconeogenesis could be responsible in some manner for a disruption in the sleep-wakefulness cycle. Circadian rhythmicity has a fairly significant effect on glucose regulation.

i'm not sure... possibly could be because it requires so much action from the gut and sphlanic bed in the small intestine during digestion... causing more nervous activity... possibly interfering with sleep? that would be my guess... I'll as Dr. Layman when he gets back from vacation... a good question b/c I have heard of that side effect before

almost all of glutamine is converted to alanine in the intestinal wall (glutamine alanine cycle), and the alanine is then sent to the liver via the portal vein where it is utilized for gluconeogenesis. "Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, does glutamine make it past the intestinal wall in appreciable amounts." - Dr. Donald Layman, Professor of Nutritional Science at university of Illinois who's specialty is in amino acids... I just discussed this topic with him yesterday

very expensive glucose if you ask me.

str8,

Why does l-glutamine interfere with my sleep?I thought it was the glutamine acting as an exitatory amino but if it doesn't get into the bloodstream...what about alanine,is it exitatory?

well when you say "them" i can only assume you are referring to both of THEM. In any case ala is a very worthwhile supp, the jury is still out on CLA

Should I take them or not then?

I'm talking about the ALA. What about CLA?
