ALANINE: Alanine/glutamine comprise 50-60% of the amino acids released from muscle during stress; stress hormones accelerate the release of alanine/glutamine from muscle to maintain hepatic gluconeogenesis. Glutamine and alanine: important in transferring nitrogen/amino groups + carbon skeletons (from pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate) from the skeletal muscle to visceral organs (*liver, kidney, GI tract) for *gluconeogenesis, acute-phase protein synthesis, or as a direct fuel source )
